The top of the Rxivist.org homepage.
The default results settings for the Rxivist.org homepage, including the search box and top results based on Twitter metrics (A) on 1 March 2019. Below the text search field (B) are 4 drop-down menus (C) that provide the other available parameters—which metric to use in the ranking process, whether to limit results to a particular category, the timeframe in which the metrics should be limited, and how many results to return at one time.
Fig 2.
The summary metrics page (https://rxivist.org/stats) includes a chart of submissions per month (A), plus a similar chart broken down by category (B) and a table showing the categories that have received the most preprints in the current month (C). Users can highlight individual categories in the chart using buttons (D). The final graph (E) plots total monthly downloads.

Preprint-level metrics visualization.
A screenshot showing typical graphs of download metrics displayed on an Rxivist profile page for an individual preprint. The left plot shows a single paper's downloads (y-axis) per month (x-axis), and the right plot is a histogram (with a log scale on the x-axis) of total downloads per preprint of all preprints on bioRxiv, including an indication of which bin includes the preprint in question. This example is from the page at https://rxivist.org/papers/10.1101/210294.
