What Is AnswerThis?

AnswerThis is an AI research assistant designed to support academic, scientific, and professional research workflows. It combines academic search, literature review, document analysis, citation support, research organization, and AI writing capabilities in one platform.

AI Academic Research Assistant

AnswerThis helps researchers investigate academic questions using AI-supported search and analysis. Users can ask research questions, explore relevant scholarly sources, and receive answers supported by academic literature and citations.

Academic Paper Search

The platform provides access to a large collection of academic papers and research sources. Users can search for literature and refine results using filters that help identify relevant research based on factors such as publication date, relevance, citations, and research type.

Deep Research

AnswerThis DeepResearch is designed for more extensive research investigations. It searches academic literature, examines multiple sources, and combines findings into structured, citation-backed responses. The feature can also help researchers explore emerging topics and identify potential research gaps.

Literature Reviews

AnswerThis can assist with creating literature reviews from academic sources. Researchers can use the platform to discover relevant papers, organize findings, compare research, and develop structured literature review content with supporting citations.

Chat With PDFs

Users can upload research papers, articles, textbooks, and other documents and interact with them using AI. This allows researchers to ask questions about specific documents, summarize information, extract relevant findings, and investigate content without manually reviewing every section.

Research Gap Discovery

AnswerThis can analyze existing literature to help identify areas that have received less attention. Research gap discovery can support thesis planning, academic research proposals, literature reviews, and the development of new research questions.

AI Writing Assistant

The platform includes AI writing capabilities designed for academic and research content. Users can work on research outlines, thesis statements, abstracts, papers, editing tasks, and paraphrasing while keeping their work connected to relevant sources.

Academic Paraphrasing

AnswerThis provides paraphrasing functionality for researchers who need to revise or restructure academic text. The tool can help adjust wording and readability while supporting different writing requirements.

Citation Support

Citations are integrated into the research workflow. AnswerThis provides citation-backed research responses and supports citation formatting, reference management, and exporting references for continued use in academic projects.

Research Library

Users can save research papers, queries, summaries, and citations inside a personal research library. Saved material can be organized by project or topic and retrieved later when continuing research or preparing new content.

Use My Library

The Use My Library feature allows researchers to work with sources they have already collected. This provides greater control over the literature used when generating research insights, summaries, and other AI-assisted content.

Reference Manager Integrations

AnswerThis supports integrations with reference-management platforms including Zotero, Mendeley, and EndNote. These integrations help researchers connect existing reference collections with their AnswerThis research workflow.

Systematic Reviews

Higher-tier plans include tools designed for systematic research workflows. These capabilities include AI-assisted screening, evidence extraction, risk-of-bias assessment, evidence grading, and structured systematic review processes.

Evidence Synthesis

AnswerThis also provides advanced evidence-synthesis capabilities for researchers working with larger bodies of scientific literature. Depending on the plan, users can access features for analyzing evidence and organizing findings across multiple studies.

Clinical Trial Research

The platform provides research capabilities for exploring clinical trial information. Researchers can investigate trial activity according to areas such as targets, indications, modalities, phases, sponsors, status, and endpoints.

Research Collaboration

AnswerThis supports research teams through shared research libraries, projects, and collaborative workspaces. Higher-tier plans are designed to provide additional functionality for laboratories, teams, and organizations managing research at a larger scale.

Who Is AnswerThis For?

AnswerThis is designed for students, graduate researchers, professors, academic researchers, research laboratories, and professional teams working with academic or scientific evidence. It can support activities ranging from paper discovery and literature reviews to systematic reviews and research writing.

Free Plan

AnswerThis provides a free plan for users who want to access its core research capabilities without a paid subscription. The free offering provides access to selected research, search, and organization features.

Pro Plan

The Pro plan is designed for researchers who need more extensive research capabilities. It is currently priced from $35 per month and provides access to additional features beyond the free offering.

Lab and Team Research

AnswerThis offers higher-level plans for research laboratories and teams. These plans are designed for collaborative research environments where multiple users need shared resources and more advanced research workflows.

Research Workflow

AnswerThis brings several stages of the research process into one environment. Users can search for academic evidence, save sources, analyze documents, investigate research gaps, prepare literature reviews, and develop citation-supported writing.
