Academic Research

Search papers, authors, citations

Academic Research searches millions of peer-reviewed papers, finds authors, and maps citation networks — all without leaving your AI assistant. Whether you're writing a literature review, backing up a claim, or exploring a new field, it gives you credible sources with citation counts and open access links in seconds.

It solves the problem of manually trawling Google Scholar or PubMed tabs. You can search broadly, sort by influence or recency, then drill into any paper for its full abstract, all authors, references, and related works. It's built for researchers, students, journalists, and anyone who needs evidence-backed answers fast.

What you can do

  • Search papers by topic, keyword, or title with sorting by relevance, citation count, or date
  • Get full paper details including abstract, all authors, journal, DOI, and citation count
  • Find researchers by name and see their institution, h-index, and publication history
  • Discover related works and reference chains from any paper

Who it's for

Academics and graduate students building literature reviews. Journalists and policy researchers verifying claims. Anyone who needs trustworthy, citable sources rather than blog posts and opinion pieces.

How to use it

  1. Use search_papers with your topic — sort by cited_by_count to find the most influential work, or publication_date for the latest research
  2. Pick the most relevant papers from the results and note their IDs
  3. Call paper_details with a paper ID to get the full abstract, references, and related works
  4. Use search_authors to find a specific researcher and cross-reference their output
