Recommendica is a free, open-source research assistant for students and researchers. Ask a research question in plain language and it retrieves relevant scientific papers, then writes a grounded answer in which every claim is linked to the paper excerpt it came from. Each answer is checked against those excerpts, and when the retrieved papers do not support an answer, Recommendica says so instead of guessing.
Search covers curated collections in AI, computer science, climate science, biomedicine, physics, and mathematics, with live arXiv retrieval as a fallback.
Recommendica also includes a full academic paper editor that runs in the browser. Write in a visual word-processor mode with live equations, numbered figures and tables, cross-references, footnotes, and BibTeX citations, or switch to a LaTeX source editor with an instant preview. Start from templates such as arXiv preprint, IEEE conference, APA 7, ML conference, REVTeX, and AMS article; import Word, Markdown, or existing LaTeX projects; and export a PDF or a LaTeX project ready for Overleaf or a journal.
A free learning hub offers ten self-paced courses with quizzes: planning a research project, the research workflow, reading papers critically, systematic literature reviews, statistics, academic writing, LaTeX, publishing and peer review, and responsible use of AI in research.
No account and no paywall. Drafts and course progress stay in your own browser.
Nevatal added Recommendica as alternative to Snowball and Scinapse
