FAQs

What is Research3?

Research3 is an AI-powered search and research engine designed for scientific discovery. It provides access to 100M+ research papers across disciplines and enables users to search, explore, question, and verify scientific knowledge using AI-assisted tools built specifically for research workflows.

How is Research3 different from traditional academic search engines?

Traditional search engines rely primarily on keyword matching and fragmented databases. Research3 is built to operate at the scale of modern science, allowing users to explore a unified corpus of over 100 million papers and interact with them directly through tools like Paper Chat, CuriosityGPT, and AI Audits. The platform emphasizes evidence traceability, cross-paper understanding, and research usability rather than simple document retrieval.

Can I trust the answers generated by Research3?

Research3 is evidence-first. AI-generated outputs are grounded in identifiable scientific sources and designed to preserve links back to original papers. The platform does not replace scientific judgment; instead, it helps users inspect sources, compare findings, and assess the strength and limitations of evidence.

What is Paper Chat?

Paper Chat allows users to interact directly with research papers or collections of papers using natural language. Users can ask clarifying questions, summarize methods or results, compare studies, critique findings, and explore relationships across papers—all while maintaining citation awareness and source traceability.

What is CuriosityGPT?

CuriosityGPT is designed for exploratory research. It helps users discover related concepts, emerging themes, and cross-disciplinary connections within the scientific literature. Rather than answering narrowly defined questions, it supports open-ended inquiry and helps researchers ask better questions.

What are AI Audits?

AI Audits are tools that help verify scientific claims against published research. They are used to evaluate whether conclusions are supported by evidence, identify conflicting findings, and surface uncertainty within the literature. AI Audits are particularly useful for validating AI-generated content, reports, and research summaries.

Who is Research3 built for?

Research3 is used by researchers, students, educators, policy analysts, innovators, and institutions. It supports individual learning, academic research, enterprise analysis, and large-scale scientific exploration.

Do I need technical expertise to use Research3?

No. Research3 is designed to be accessible to both experts and non-experts. Users can interact with the platform using natural language while still accessing deep scientific content and detailed evidence when needed.

Is Research3 a chatbot?

No. Research3 is not a generic conversational AI. It is an AI-powered research engine built around scientific literature. AI is used to organize, explore, and analyze research—not to generate unsupported answers.

Can Research3 be used for interdisciplinary research?

Yes. Research3 is designed to support cross-disciplinary discovery by connecting related ideas across fields, even when terminology, methods, or conventions differ.

Is Research3 suitable for education and learning?

Yes. Students and educators use Research3 to explore primary literature, understand research methods, and engage directly with scientific evidence rather than relying solely on summaries or textbooks.

How does Research3 support global access to science?

Research3 is built to make scientific knowledge more discoverable and usable worldwide. By lowering the barrier to navigating large research corpora, it supports open science, global collaboration, and broader access to verified knowledge.
