PRODUCT OVERVIEW

What is ResearchRabbit?

ResearchRabbit is an online research discovery tool that analyzes papers you already trust and surfaces the research you may be missing. Starting from seed articles, it maps citation networks, shows earlier and later work, explores authors, and recommends similar papers across a database of 320+ million academic articles. Researchers, students, and librarians use it to run literature reviews, chase citations, build visual maps of a field, and organize papers into shareable collections, with Zotero import and library-database workflows supported. A free tier covers unlimited searches, unlimited collections, collaboration, and up to 50 seed articles; ResearchRabbit+ adds larger seed sets, advanced search controls, multiple projects, and signals alerts.
