Frequently Asked Questions
How far back does the Academic Research database go?
Academic Research covers publications indexed across major scientific databases, spanning decades of peer-reviewed literature. You can filter by date range to focus on recent work or trace the historical development of a research area.
Can the Grants Finder tool search international funding sources?
Grants Finder searches US (NIH, NSF, DOE), UK (UKRI, Wellcome), Australian (ARC, NHMRC), and Japanese funding databases, plus select private foundations. Coverage varies by region — US federal funding is most comprehensive.
Is the Chemistry Lookup useful for biological buffer preparation?
Yes. Chemistry Lookup returns molecular weight, pKa values, solubility data, and GHS safety classifications for common biological reagents, buffers, and lab chemicals — useful for both protocol development and safety documentation.
Can diagram generator produce figures that are ready for journal submission?
Diagram Generator produces clean vector-style diagrams well-suited for grant applications and presentations. For journal figures requiring specific formatting or font standards, the output works best as a draft to refine in illustration software.
Can I use Deep Research to compare two experimental methods?
Yes. Deep Research synthesizes information from multiple sources and is effective at producing structured comparisons of experimental methods, including published benchmarking studies, practical limitations, and recent protocol improvements.
