Make the site yours, and help curate it

Science of Placebo is a shared resource for people who study, practise, or are curious about placebo and nocebo effects. Here is what you can do now, and what a free account will add.

Keep a list of papers

Star any paper on the feed, in the database or on its page. "My list" collects them, filters the feed and database to them, exports them, and copies citations. Available now, no account needed; the list lives in your browser.

Open my list →

Discuss

Comment on any paper and take part in the discussion board. Posting uses a GitHub account, which is free and takes a minute to create.
