About this listing

Product and access model reviewed from current official sources; workflow and example are editorial suggestions, not a hands-on test.

Official source

Find papers, build literature reviews, question PDFs, and manage source-supported writing in a research-agent workspace.

Best suited to

ResearchPal suits students and researchers who want a connected route from a question to a set of papers and a checked draft.

Meet ResearchPal

ResearchPal suits students and researchers who want a connected route from a question to a set of papers and a checked draft. Its agent combines discovery with reading and citation tasks. Start with a narrow topic and inspect the papers before writing a broad review. Source-linked output still needs verification: the presence of a citation does not show that the linked paper supports every part of the sentence.

A practical workflow

  1. Define a narrow question and select relevant databases.
  2. Find a small set of accessible papers.
  3. Inspect summaries or ask document-specific questions.
  4. Verify sources before drafting your own synthesis.

Illustrative input

This example describes a task, not a tested output. Adjust the source material and settings to your own situation.

Find studies addressing this question and organize them by method, outcome and limitation; mark missing evidence instead of filling it in.

Result check: Check bibliographic details and open the actual passages supporting each retained claim.

Access and alternatives

A continuing Starter Free plan provides monthly credits and limited research functions. Paid Standard and Pro add capacity, agent access, collaboration and document exports. Different tasks consume capacity differently. Confirm current chat, review, upload and export limits rather than treating unlimited chats as unlimited deep research.

Choose another workflow when its emphasis fits better: Paperguide for another document-and-research workspace; SciSpace for a different paper-reading approach.
