# Research

<https://openmeasures.io/research>

Our independent research hosted on our blog is one of the ways we show what is possible with our tools. It is also a resource to the OSINT community in the form of free, high-quality research on a range of topics.&#x20;

Some examples of our work:

* A deep dive into the explosive growth of Bluesky and the rise of [inauthentic accounts pushing crypto](https://openmeasures.io/fake-crypto-accounts/) scams that have grown alongside the platform.
* Identification of hundreds of [war criminals from the Russian invasion](https://openmeasures.io/war-crimes-in-bucha-and-criminals-on-vkontakte/) of Ukraine using open methods.
* Alongside our partners at Code for Africa, we identified and investigated [Pro-Russian Telegram channels that were stoking anti-UN discourse in the Sahel region](https://openmeasures.io/pro-russian-telegram-anti-un/).
* Investigation of [romance scams run by notorious Yahoo Boys](https://openmeasures.io/yahoo-boys-scams/) communities that have spread between mainstream and alt-tech social networks.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.openmeasures.io/docs/further-reading/research.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
