Description: Literature discovery app
- Platform: web
- Cost: free
- Ease of use: A bit confusing at first; easiest to learn by clicking around, many cool features.
- Tips for use:
- Requires users to sign up with their institutional email (i.e. UofT email address)
- Twitter account is very responsive to any questions or feedback.
- Highly effective, especially during the literature review stage of your research, once you have formed a collection of a few papers that underly your research question
- Allows you to visualize how your papers are connected to each other (similar to the “Connected Papers” web app), and also generates a network of related papers.
- one-stop-shop where you can access a multitude of information about a paper of interest. With just a few clicks, you can view and export all citations and all references for a paper of interest. You can also easily look up information based on an author, including a list of their publications, as well as their main collaborators.
- Other pros/cons:
- Very new app, requires users to sign up for a “Waitlist.” However, in my experience, the Waitlist moves very quickly – within a few hours I was granted access
- Takes some time to set up “collection” of your papers, so that Research Rabbit has some content to work with. But there are clear instructions and tutorial videos to make this process easier .
