What's inside Atlas

A research platform
that respects the researcher.

Atlas gives researchers a serious home for questionnaires, scale libraries, and participant matching, reviewed for quality at every step, instead of the ad-hoc spreadsheets and disconnected forms most studies get stuck with.

Nexus Dashboard
One home for every questionnaire you run: drafts, published studies, and a Karma Score that reflects the quality of your participation across the platform.
Tailored Matching
The Global Queue surfaces studies with a live match percentage, so participants land on questionnaires that actually fit their tagged interests, not a random list.
Reviewed & Approved
Supervisors and peers can review a questionnaire before it goes live, and that approval, with a name and date, travels with it in the feed. Quality is visible, not assumed.
A Real Question Builder
Likert scales, multiple choice, rankings, image choice, attention checks, and more. Build an instrument with the same rigor you'd expect from dedicated survey software.
Topic Tags
Categorize by faculty and subfield, from Clinical & Counseling to Cognitive Science, so the right participants and collaborators find your work.
🏆
Academic Standings
Faculty leaderboards and cross-faculty rankings turn quality participation into recognition, not just a number nobody sees.
The operating matrix

How Atlas works
under the surface.

Atlas is a Progressive Web App built for the realities of academic work: shared devices, spotty campus wifi, and supervisors who need to review before anything goes live.

🧑‍🎓
Layer 01 · Identity
Researcher Accounts
Every questionnaire is scoped to the researcher who created it. Drafts stay private until published; published studies carry your name and, where relevant, your reviewer's.
🏷️
Layer 02 · Categorization
Topic Tags & Faculty
Studies are tagged by faculty and subfield at creation, powering the matching that surfaces relevant work to the right participants in the Global Queue.
🔎
Layer 03 · Quality
Review & Approval
A supervisor or peer can review a questionnaire before it's live. Once approved, that reviewer and date are attached and visible to every participant in the feed.
🎯
Layer 04 · Matching
Tailored Feed
Participants see a live match percentage per study, calculated from their own tagged interests, so attention goes to the studies most likely to be relevant to them.
📊
Layer 05 · Recognition
Karma & Standings
Quality participation earns Karma points that feed into faculty and cross-faculty leaderboards, turning good research citizenship into something visible.
🌐
Layer 06 · Delivery
PWA on Cloudflare
Atlas is deployed on Cloudflare's global edge network. As a Progressive Web App, it installs to your home screen and works well even on slower campus connections.

📌
Install the app
Click "Install" in the dialog that appears. Atlas opens as a standalone window, ideal for building longer questionnaires at a desk.

Use it like a native app
Atlas runs in its own window with no browser chrome. Pin it to your taskbar or dock for quick access before your next lab session.
Note: push notifications work best on mobile
Push notifications require the PWA to be installed. They won't work from a regular browser tab: install to your home screen first, then allow notifications when prompted. This is a browser limitation, not an Atlas one.
