What is Research Rabbit?

Research Rabbit is a free tool designed to help academics, researchers, and students discover and organise academic papers more efficiently. It uses AI to analyse research papers and create visual maps showing how different studies relate to one another, making it easier to understand the landscape of a particular research area. Rather than manually searching databases and tracking citations, you can upload papers or search by topic, and the tool automatically identifies connected work and relevant researchers. This is particularly useful for literature reviews, understanding research trends, or finding papers you might have missed using traditional search methods.

Limitations

  • Dependent on data quality; results are only as good as the papers indexed in the system
  • May not cover all niche or very recent research areas comprehensively
  • Visual mapping features work best with sufficient data; small or narrow research areas may show limited connections
