Your daily research radar.
Never miss the paper that matters.
Papers Radar scans tens of thousands of new publications and preprints every morning and hand-delivers the handful that actually fit your research — each with a plain-English rationale you can check.
Built for how academics actually read
Keyword alerts drown you; tables of contents arrive months late. Papers Radar reads like a sharp colleague who knows exactly what you care about.
Field-agnostic coverage
OpenAlex, arXiv, SocArXiv and PsyArXiv — journals and preprints across every discipline, gathered daily from the areas your own seed papers live in.
Transparent AI rationales
An AI judge reads every shortlisted abstract against criteria you can read and edit, then scores fit 0–10 with a one-sentence reason. No black-box ranking — you always see the why.
Gets sharper as you use it
Thumbs-up and thumbs-down on any pick become boundary examples the judge learns from the very next day. Your radar tunes itself to your taste.
How it works
Two stages, both inspectable: Gathering casts the net, Selection decides what deserves your attention.
Tell us what you work on
Describe your interests in your own words and paste a few papers you wish you'd been alerted to. That's your whole setup — about five minutes.
We gather & shortlist daily
Every morning we search the research areas your seed papers point to and shortlist new work that sits closest to them — semantic closeness, not keyword roulette.
An AI judge picks your briefing
The judge reads each shortlisted abstract against your Selection Criteria and scores its fit. The best land in your inbox and dashboard, rationale attached.
“It found a preprint squarely in my niche the week it went up — months before I'd have seen it in a journal alert. The one-line rationales mean I trust what it skips, too.”
Five minutes to set up. Every morning after, it works for you.
