Moara
Moara is a web-based AI research platform for literature reviews, supporting work from discovery through evidence synthesis.

It supports narrative and systematic reviews, including workflows aligned with PRISMA and Cochrane guidelines. Moara says its database contains more than 200 million scholarly papers across disciplines. Users can import PDFs, RIS, NBIB, TXT, or ZIP files and connect Zotero and LibKey. Teams can assign papers, share annotations, and follow review progress in real time. The Free plan allows up to 50 papers per review library. Core is $15/mo billed annually; Pro is $40/mo billed annually. Moara states that stored data is encrypted with AES-256 and data in transit with TLS 1.2 or higher, with internal access controls and role-based permissions.
