The problem

Excellent research.
Hidden from the world.

Researchers at well-resourced institutions have communications teams, infrastructure, and PR support. Most researchers don't. DVOS closes that gap.

Identity

Your publications aren't all credited to you

Different name spellings across databases mean citations go uncounted. Funders can't find your full record. Collaborators find the wrong person.

DVOS links your ORCID to consolidate everything under one verified identity.

Impact

Invisible impact

Your h-index might be excellent for your field and career stage — but you have no way to know how you compare to peers globally.

Field-normalized citation benchmarks from Hirsch 2005 and Bornmann & Marx 2011.

Language

Writing inequality

Applications written by non-native English speakers are evaluated on language, not science. That's not fair — and DVOS fixes it.

AI generates professional bios, LinkedIn summaries, and grant impact statements from your data.

Funding

Missed funding

Wellcome, Fogarty, Gates, NRF — opportunities exist. Most researchers never find them.

AI-matched grant radar, personalised to your field and career stage.

Presence

No research website

Google your name: nothing relevant. Or worse — the wrong person. First impressions matter for grant reviewers.

DVOS generates a professional research website in seconds.

Network

Collaboration isolation

A researcher in Nigeria and one in Kenya may be working on the same problem — and never discover each other.

Collaboration radar shows active researchers in your field ranked by impact.

Features

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Seven tools in one dashboard. Each one built around real researcher workflows — from your first ORCID to your next grant application.

FAQ

Common questions.

DVOS (Digital Visibility OS) is a research visibility platform that helps academics build their online presence. It tracks your citations in real time, verifies your ORCID profile, generates an AI-powered researcher bio, surfaces grant opportunities and conferences, and shows exactly how discoverable your work is to funders and collaborators. A free account gives you core tools forever; the Researcher plan unlocks full AI capabilities.
DVOS is freemium. Every new account gets a 14-day free trial with full access to all features — no credit card required. After the trial, the Free plan keeps your visibility score, ORCID tracking, and basic arXiv feed forever at no cost. The Researcher plan ($9/month or $79/year) unlocks the AI Profile Builder, AI Content Engine, full Research Pulse (grants + conferences), Collaboration Cards, and Journal Check. Institutions can contact us for custom multi-seat pricing.
When your 14-day trial ends, your account automatically moves to the Free plan. You keep your visibility score, ORCID verification, and basic research feed forever. Premium features (AI builder, content engine, grants intelligence, collab cards, journal check) become locked until you upgrade. Your data is always safe — nothing is deleted. You can upgrade any time from inside the app.
You can sign in with your email and password, receive a magic link (no password needed), or use Google, Apple, or ORCID single sign-on. ORCID sign-in automatically links your verified researcher identity to your DVOS profile. Signing up takes under 30 seconds — just click "Start free trial" above.
DVOS queries OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, Crossref, and PubMed simultaneously — the four largest open research databases. It cross-references results, uses the highest verified count, and shows your total citations, h-index, and how you compare to peers at your career stage and field. All citation data is free and updates in real time.
Yes — DVOS was specifically designed for researchers in the Global South. The Free plan includes everything researchers in under-resourced institutions need most: visibility score, ORCID verification, and live arXiv feed. The Researcher plan is priced at $9/month — below one conference registration fee. Grants from Wellcome Trust, NIH Fogarty, Gates Foundation, African Union, and NRF South Africa are surfaced in the platform.
DVOS computes a score from 0–100 across six signals: ORCID completeness (25%), citation impact (27%), researcher profile (18%), research website (12%), content output (10%), and platform presence (8%). The score reflects how discoverable your work is to collaborators, funders, and journals. It updates every time you improve a signal.
ORCID is a free, persistent identifier for researchers — like a passport for your academic work. It solves name disambiguation, ensures all your publications are attributed to you across databases, and is required for most international grant applications including EU Horizon and Wellcome Trust. DVOS can sign you in directly with ORCID, automatically populating your profile.
