ResearchRabbit

ResearchRabbit is a web-based platform designed to assist academic researchers in discovering and organizing scholarly literature. Users can build collections of papers and the tool automatically surfaces related works, earlier foundational studies, and newer citing papers based on citation graph analysis. It provides interactive network visualizations that map relationships between papers and authors, helping researchers understand how ideas connect across a field. The platform also offers personalized recommendations that update over time as new papers are published, functioning similarly to a music recommendation engine but for academic literature. Researchers can collaborate by sharing collections with colleagues and receive email digests of new relevant publications. ResearchRabbit integrates with Zotero, allowing users to sync their existing reference libraries. The tool is entirely free for all users and is positioned as a complement to traditional database searches rather than a replacement, focusing on serendipitous discovery and visual exploration of research landscapes.
