I've had an account at Meta prior to this announcement. The statement "Meta is a tool that helps researchers understand what is happening globally in science and shows them where science is headed" is not wrong, even though the landing page could use some work. What that amounts to for a researcher is a paper discovery service. You can search for papers/labs, and click on topics like "CRISPR/Cas9" and get the top 20 most impactful papers in the last decade using that technique. You can subscribe to new papers on that topic across a large set of journals. You can also observe trends in science, like certain research concepts that are increasing in popularity. In practice, as a researcher, I don't find it more useful than journal RSS feeds and a Google Scholar alert or two, but it's a step in the right direction.
