What it is
ResearchRabbit is a web service for discovering research related to papers users select. It analyzes those papers and recommends connected work, with interactive maps showing links among papers, authors and concepts. Its recommendations adapt to reading patterns and research interests. The Free plan costs nothing and provides unlimited searches across more than 310 million articles, an unlimited library and collections, sharing, core search settings and up to 50 seed articles. ResearchRabbit+ raises the seed limit to 300 and adds advanced search controls, multiple projects, Signals alerts and faster support responses.
