What is ResearchRabbit?

ResearchRabbit is a web‑based research assistant that streamlines literature discovery and organization for researchers, students, and academic professionals. It allows users to start from a single paper and expand the search by adding related authors, works, and emerging topics, automatically generating visual maps that display citation networks and topic evolution.

Built‑in visualizations show how subjects interconnect over time, helping users spot research gaps and emerging trends. The platform supports note and paper organization, keeping citations, annotations, and ideas linked in one workspace. Integration with reference managers such as Zotero lets users sync their collections and incorporate new sources into existing workflows.
