PhD Students
"I surveyed 30 papers for my thesis proposal in one afternoon. What used to take a week now takes minutes — and every citation is real."
— PhD candidate, Computer Science
👨‍🏫
Professors
"When I start a grant proposal, I need the state of the field fast. NexusScholar gives me structured synthesis I can actually use."
— Associate Professor, Molecular Biology
🔬
Research Labs
"We give new researchers a NexusScholar review before the paper pile. It saves weeks of onboarding time."
— Research Director, AI Safety Lab

Research agent

Find, analyze & synthesize papers

Searches Semantic Scholar, arXiv, and CrossRef simultaneously — filters by relevance and citation count — then writes a full literature review with real citations and zero hallucinations.

The agent will search three real academic databases, filter by relevance, then write a complete literature review using Claude AI.

How NexusScholar works

Built for PhD students, professors, and research labs who need real academic synthesis — not generic AI text.

Real databases, not hallucinations

Every paper comes from a live API call to Semantic Scholar (100M+ papers), arXiv, or CrossRef. No citations are invented — if it's not in the database, it's not in your review.

How the pipeline works

For each query the agent:

  • Searches 3 databases simultaneously
  • Deduplicates by title similarity
  • Filters by year range and abstract quality
  • Ranks by citation count
  • Sends structured context to Claude

What you get

A complete literature review: Abstract, Introduction, Methodology, thematic Literature Review, Critical Analysis, Research Gaps, Conclusion, and References — all with real [N] citations.

What you need

A free Gemini API key from aistudio.google.com. Sign in with any Google account and create a key in 30 seconds. All database APIs are completely free too.
