Semantic Scholar

Semantic Scholar is a free, AI-powered research tool for scientific literature built by the Allen Institute for AI (Ai2). Users can search more than 238 million papers from all fields of science, follow authors and topics with a free account, and read selected papers in Semantic Reader, an augmented reader in beta that adds context such as citation details while reading. Developers can build scholarly applications on its API, which offers paper search and other data under a separate API license agreement.

Semantic Scholar suits students, researchers, librarians and developers who need to discover and track academic work. Search results and AI-generated summaries are aids to discovery, so papers should still be read and cited from their published versions. Nothing was tested for this listing.

The site describes Semantic Scholar as a free tool, and creating an account is optional. Use of the website and services is governed by Ai2's terms and conditions of use, effective September 25, 2024, and API use by its own license agreement.
