A free, open-source tool for researchers

Your daily research radar.
Never miss the paper that matters.

Research Radar scans the day's new publications and preprints each morning to find and summarize the handful that actually fit your research.

Free and open source.

How it works

Two stages: Gathering scans for papers that might be of interest, Selection uses your preferences to pick the very best ones.

Describe your work

Describe your research interests and (optionally) link to a Zotero folder of seed papers that represent your interests. Setup takes about five minutes.

Daily gathering & shortlist

Each morning the pipeline searches the research areas your seed papers point to and shortlists new work that sits closest to them by semantic similarity, not keywords.

An AI judge picks the best ones

The judge scores each shortlisted abstract against your Selection Criteria. Papers that clear your bar are linked and summarized in a daily dashboard and (optional) email.

Setup takes about five minutes.
