1Cademy is a platform that aims to improve the efficiency of learning and research by utilizing a collaborative approach to gather information from various sources and organize it into concise notes that focus on a single concept. These notes are granularly organized and visualized as a knowledge graph that illustrates the hierarchical relationships between concepts. The platform uses a peer-review process, reputation system, and voting mechanism to ensure the quality of the knowledge graph and encourage the development of high-quality content. Through this process, students and researchers can improve upon each other's contributions, propose more up-to-date and user-friendly versions of each note and share their learning perspectives. Over the past two years, 1,543 students and researchers from 183 institutions have participated in the platform, resulting in the formation of multiple research and learning communities covering a wide range of subjects.
