ResearchRabbit is a free literature discovery tool that turns the tedious job of finding related papers into a visual, exploratory experience. Instead of searching keyword by keyword, you start from studies you already trust and let the tool surface connected work.

What it does

You add a few seed papers, and ResearchRabbit recommends related research, maps citation and co-authorship networks and helps you spot the key studies in a field. Collections let you group papers by topic or project, and alerts keep you posted when relevant new work appears, so a review that once took days of manual searching becomes far quicker.

Who it’s for

The tool suits researchers, graduate students and academics who need to understand a research area, build a reading list or track an evolving literature. Because it is free and collaborative, teams can share collections and explore together. Coverage relies on the connected databases, so use ResearchRabbit as a discovery layer alongside your usual library searches.
