Skolar

Skolar suits researchers who want to work across papers, a draft and an analysis dataset in one place. Its documented Researcher workflow can run code and return figures, while cited edits remain linked to source passages. Begin with a small question or known dataset. The important evaluation is whether the sources, assumptions and calculations can be inspected, not whether the generated explanation sounds confident.

A practical workflow

1. Add permitted papers or a small analysis file.
2. State the research question and expected method.
3. Inspect the cited response or generated analysis.
4. Verify sources, code and assumptions before retaining it.

Illustrative input

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

Compare the methods in these papers and identify which findings directly address my question, without treating an unrelated outcome as supporting evidence.

Result check: Open cited passages, inspect calculations and check whether the interpretation follows from the actual data.

Access and alternatives

Skolar lists Free and paid credit plans, but renewal of its limited free credits was not explicit in the reviewed table. Pricing is marked unconfirmed. Paid tiers differ in reasoning, files, reviews and audits. Confirm data-processing conditions and export access before uploading unpublished or restricted research.
