Today we’re excited to launch Research Navigator. Our goal is to give researchers a single doorway to reliable academic tools, so you can spend less time hunting links and more time doing the work that matters.
What’s ready today
We’ve shipped the core pieces researchers ask for most often:
- 12 research-focused categories that cover the full workflow
- 100+ hand-picked tools and resources, with more coming
- Smart search that works with tool names, domains, and keywords
- Responsive layout tuned for laptop, tablet, and phone
- Sticky search bar and sidebar to make navigation effortless
Newly added tools
This release highlights three collections we know researchers need every day:
- AI assistants — ChatGPT, Claude, Elicit and more to boost reading speed and idea generation
- AI content checks — Turnitin AI Detection, GPTZero, and others to vet AI-generated text when integrity matters
- Preprint hubs — arXiv, bioRxiv and peers so you can catch the newest work before it hits journals
What’s next
Here’s what we’re building next, based on early feedback:
- Sign-in and personalized recommendations by discipline
- Ratings and reviews for every tool
- Richer multilingual support
- How-to guides for popular research workflows
