> **So, what is SciX?** Think of it as your one-stop platform for exploring research across *Earth, environmental and space sciences, including planetary science, heliophysics, geology, geophysics, atmospheric sciences and oceanography*.

We've built SciX as a natural evolution of the [Astrophysics Data System (ADS)](https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu), bringing its powerful capabilities into new domains. For ADS users, SciX uses your familiar search queries and workflows to access an even more comprehensive collection of curated scientific literature, software, and data. <mark>Transitioning from ADS to SciX is seamless</mark>: existing user accounts, personal libraries, and notifications created via ADS are available and accessible through SciX. No ADS links or services become obsolete with the introduction of this interdisciplinary portal, but SciX users benefit from the newest features we have developed for it.

**Why does this matter?** Because the big questions - about our planet, our local star, and our universe beyond - don't fit neatly into one discipline. They require all of us, across communities, to work together. SciX helps break down research silos, making it easier for researchers in heliophysics to connect with Earth scientists, or for planetary scientists to explore insights from astrophysics.

> **Because you don't know what you don't know.** SciX helps uncover those underexplored but interrelated areas of research that might enable the breakthrough you've been looking for.

SciX is a project created by the ADS team and operated out of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory under a NASA Cooperative Agreement. SciX builds on decades of open research infrastructure and collaboration that's powered discoveries big and small. <mark>It's a platform created and developed by scientists, for scientists</mark> - and we can't wait to see how you'll use it.
