We index 300 million papers. Here's what that covers.

Every major source — OpenAlex, PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, CrossRef — in one search. No discipline left out. Refreshed daily.

If you can't find a paper, it might as well not exist. That's the practical reality of research — nobody has time to check five different databases hoping one of them indexed the study they need.

We pull from every major scholarly source: journals, preprints, conference proceedings, theses, datasets. Over 300 million records, growing daily. The goal is simple — if it's been published somewhere, you should be able to find it here, regardless of discipline or language.

Sources and coverage

  • Peer-reviewed journals across all disciplines — biology, physics, medicine, engineering, social sciences, humanities.
  • Preprints from arXiv, bioRxiv, medRxiv, SSRN, ChemRxiv, EarthArXiv.
  • Open-access full-text from PubMed Central, Europe PMC, DOAJ journals.
  • Conference proceedings from ACM, IEEE, Springer, and major academic publishers.
  • Citation graphs linking papers across decades — who cites whom, and in what context.
  • Author, institution, and journal profiles from the OpenAlex knowledge graph.

Updated daily

Our ingestion pipeline runs continuously, pulling new records from OpenAlex, CrossRef, PubMed, and direct publisher feeds. When a preprint drops on bioRxiv in the morning, it's usually in our index by the afternoon. No waiting days or weeks.

Coverage matters because research questions don't stay inside one field. A bioinformatics question might need papers from both biology and computer science journals. A public health question might span epidemiology, economics, and policy. If your search tool only covers one discipline, it's already failing you.

We built an AI research search that doesn't make up papers

Most AI tools confidently cite papers that don't exist. We took a different approach — every result links to a real, verifiable paper. Here's how.

Stop writing Boolean queries — just ask what you want to know

You shouldn't need to be a search expert to find papers. Type your question in plain English and get back studies that actually answer it.
