Paperguide
AI platform for literature reviews, systematic reviews, and reference management
💬 What is Paperguide?
Paperguide is an AI-native platform for scientific research workflows and evidence synthesis. It is built for academic researchers, evidence-synthesis teams, and industry analysts who need to find, organize, and synthesize peer-reviewed literature at scale, including auditable PRISMA-style systematic reviews. The platform combines an AI search over 200M+ papers, an AI-native reference manager, data extraction, a multi-step research agent, and a citation-grounded AI writer in a single workspace. Distinctively, every claim, screening decision, and extracted value is linked back to the source statement, with journal-quality metrics (SJR, SNIP, citations) shown alongside results, and the systematic review module supports dual-reviewer workflows with PRISMA reporting. It is trusted by 1 million+ researchers and is offered with team workspaces, role-based access, and integrations with Zotero and Mendeley.
