Can someone describe the differences between this and something like ResearchGate [0]? The article here, which reads like a press release, does not provide much information beyond 'democratizing access' and 'curating content'. Oh, and throwing some punches at the big journals.

A cursory browse of their website seems to indicate they are just indexing abstract repositories and providing links to arXiv or the journal articles. Further, searching a topic like climate change science [1] yields only 89(!!) results, of which only 24 are displayed. And those appear to just be the most recently published--little value added.

From the headline, I was hoping this would be a paradigm-shifting new publishing company fostering a variety of open access journals. Instead, it seems to be a "machine learning applied" version of ResearchGate, Google Scholar, and many other similar platforms.
