ResearchRabbit
What it is
ResearchRabbit is a web service for finding related research based on papers users select. It analyzes those papers and recommends connected work, with interactive maps showing relationships among papers, authors, and concepts. Its recommendations adapt to reading patterns and research interests. The Free plan allows unlimited searches across more than 310 million articles, an unlimited library and collections, collection sharing, and up to 50 seed articles. ResearchRabbit+ raises that limit to 300 seed articles and adds advanced search controls, multiple projects, Signals alerts, and faster support responses. Its annual plan costs $10 a year, billed per month, and its monthly plan costs $12.50 a month. The Institution plan lists LibKey research-library integration, management for thousands of users, usage statistics, and dedicated support; its price is available by contacting the service. Users can bring selected articles in from Zotero collections and export articles as BibTeX. Free users can share collections with collaborators, including through a public link. The company says it does not sell users' articles or notes or use them to train AI models. Its Data Processing Addendum lists encryption in transit and at rest where applicable, least-privilege access controls, monitoring, backups, and regular patching. The service is aimed at researchers and students.
