We’ve been busy this April bringing you faster, smarter ways to explore research—and we're just getting started. Here's what's new in Nature Navigator and what to keep an eye out for next.

⚡ Fast Build Mode (Beta) – Insights in Seconds

Tired of waiting 8+ minutes to see first results after building a topic? Say hello to Fast Build Mode 🎉
Now in beta, Fast Build Mode dramatically reduces build time to just a few seconds, giving you quicker access to your topic’s research landscape.
Start with your usual keyword list or Boolean query, and we’ll guide you with relevant Field of Research suggestions. Jump straight into researcher, publication, and organization insights—faster than ever.

Try it now in Topic Creator – it’s the same steps you’re used to, just way quicker. 🙌

👥 Admin Dashboard – Manage Users Like a Pro

For our institutional users: the new Admin Dashboard is here!
Now admins can manage users across teams more effectively, streamline collaboration, and ensure everyone has the right level of access to Nature Navigator.

🧠 Data Feedback – Right Where You Need It

Noticed something off in the data? Now you can submit feedback directly from within the dataset you're viewing.

Our new in-context feedback buttons make it easier than ever to let us know when something needs fixing—speeding up resolutions and helping us maintain high data quality.

📬 Subscribe to Topic Updates – Stay in the Know

Never miss an important update again. You can now subscribe to any topic you're tracking and receive monthly email alerts when new publications are added.

Find Subscribe for Updates for every topic. You’ll also be able to see all your subscribed topics in your user account menu, providing a convenient overview.

We’re not slowing down. Here’s what’s in the pipeline:
