AI research tools for researchers, and for the journals they submit to
Find your research gap. Match your journal. Get the review.
Find your next study with our AI research gap finder, Pre-Check your manuscript and find its journal, or run the full AI peer review. 9 specialist agents, 7 of them calibrated against an index of 5,000+ real peer-review texts — a complete report in one pass.

Two ways to use the tools
Your editors keep every decision; our reports are one input to it.
For researchers
Search a topic, check a manuscript and pick its journal from your own account. Searching is free; unlocking a topic uses credits, and a free account comes with welcome credits.
Whole package
For journals, publishers and research organisations: AI review screening, the prior-publication check, research-gap fit and the Journal Finder inside your editorial workflow. Apply online in four short pages; the checks run automatically and the outcome comes by e-mail, with no sales call.
Separate tools by API
Call one tool at a time from your own system with an API key: AI review agents (the research-gap check among them), the prior-publication check, the literature search and the Journal Finder; Pre-Check is not open to API keys yet. Per call, AI review and the Journal Finder use credits; the prior-publication check and the literature search use none.

Try Pre-Check on a sample abstract
Pick a sample abstract to see the acceptance odds for top, mid and open/emerging journals that Pre-Check returned for it, or paste your own. No signup needed for the samples.
The researcher's toolkit, one workflow
Everything runs on pay-as-you-go credits — create a free account and get 25 credits to start. Searching Gaps & Literature Search is free; filling its literature comparison table, which returns the gaps, is 50. Pre-Check and the Journal Finder cost 15 credits per run; AI Review is 30. Credits never expire.
1,100,000+ open gaps — search free, table first
Search any topic free: the field overview, then the papers the search found in a comparison table you can read across and a list you can filter and export — mined from 780,000+ papers in our local library, 1,900+ gaps with permanent, citable analysis pages. Unlock the topic (50 credits) for the filled rows, the open research questions synthesised from them, the research proposal and one Pro Report run.
Acceptance odds by journal tier and a ranked journal shortlist — in seconds
Paste a title + abstract. Each check returns acceptance odds for top, mid and open/emerging journals, your detected field, a ranked shortlist of target journals from a 17,500-venue index (with tier, open access, citation rate, publisher and a predatory flag) and the topics your abstract matched — the odds come from our 7.9M-paper local library, and the shortlist is ranked mainly from that library and our venue index. Create a free account and get 25 credits to start; each run costs 15 credits.
Full 9-agent review of the PDF in 15 min
Upload the manuscript. Methodology, Formulas, Originality, Literature, Reproducibility, Clarity, Figures, Research Gap, Prior Publication — each returns a structured per-agent report with line-level revision suggestions. At 7.0 or higher it comes with matched target journals; below that, the fixes to make first.
Catch prior-publication overlap before reviewers do
Cross-references your title + abstract against CrossRef, PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, medRxiv, Europe PMC and Unpaywall and our 7.9M-paper local library, in parallel — flagging prior publication and overlapping work before you submit. Bundled into Pre-Check.
How the tools work together
Pre-Check (15 credits)

AI Review Engine
Powered by 9 specialized AI agents, 7 of them calibrated against an index of 5,000+ real peer-review texts from 15 open-review platforms.
How we compare
Where each of our tools sits beside the ones researchers already use.
15 minutes vs 90 days
A first-pass report in minutes, before the months-long review cycle: 9 specialised agents, 7 of them calibrated against an index of 5K+ real peer-review texts.
Read the breakdown →Open AND fast vs just open
OpenReview is excellent for transparency but still gates on human reviewer availability. You get every agent's full report, not a single opaque score — open review without the wait.
Read the breakdown →Self-serve vs part of a suite
A self-serve journal finder over a 17,500+-venue index, with TR-Dizin and regional coverage. 15 credits a run, no subscription.
Read the breakdown →Review & readiness vs writing
Paperpal polishes your draft as you write. We check the finished paper — a readiness check and a full 9-agent peer review before you submit, on pay-as-you-go credits.

Planned
Next: a publication route of our own
We are preparing an open-access publication route for papers that clear AI Review: CC BY 4.0, with the full agent reports published alongside the paper. It is planned, not open for submissions yet, and any fee will be stated when it opens. Eight article types are planned, including negative results, theses, and AI-authored work.
