Research Rabbit is an AI tool that discovers papers and authors through citation networks. You start with a few papers you like, and it builds a collection of similar papers, authors, and topics — learning from what you save to recommend better results over time. It is often called the Spotify of research papers.

Key Features

  • AI recommendations based on your collections
  • Citation networks for papers and authors
  • Interactive visualisations of a field
  • Save and organise papers into collections
  • Follow authors and topics for updates
  • Free plan for basic discovery

How it works

The tool is free for basic use, with RR+ at $10 a month on annual billing for unlimited collections and features. It is built for researchers who do literature reviews and want to explore a field interactively rather than running the same searches again and again.

Research Rabbit is a favourite among PhD students for its recommendations. It will not replace a search engine, but for discovering papers and authors you would never find by keyword search, it is one of the most enjoyable research tools to use.
