ScholarIQ

ScholarIQ searches 470M+ articles from OpenAlex, ORCID and PubMed — and answers in plain language, with every claim cited to a source you can open

ScholarIQ answers research questions by searching more than 470 million articles indexed from OpenAlex, ORCID and PubMed, and returns a plain-language answer in which every claim links to a source you can open. Rather than a loose summary, each answer is assembled from ranked records instead of scraped web pages, and the site frames the output as an argument backed by sources.

You ask in ordinary language with no Boolean strings needed, though the underlying query can be refined by more experienced users. Clicking a citation opens the paper along with its authors and institutions inside what the site calls the Data Atlas; the site also cites around 480,000 researcher profiles and 260,000 journals in its index. The homepage example shows a question about cold-water immersion and recovery answered from 214 randomized controlled trials. It comes from the team behind PICO Portal and is positioned as a research tool for literature review and evidence synthesis.

ScholarIQ is paid, with pricing on the site, though a free account is available to start without a credit card. Researchers who need citations they can verify rather than unsourced summaries are the intended audience.
