PaperScope: Research Workspace for Discovering & Organising Scientific Papers
PaperScope is a research workspace for academic researchers. It combines personalised paper discovery, a literature library, and an infinite Research Canvas for mapping ideas and citations. Currently free for all researchers.
Not to be confused with unrelated software of the same name in medical imaging. The canonical URL is https://thepaperscope.com/.
Key features
- Personalised Paper Discovery — a personal model ranks new papers against your library each week, not just your keywords.
- Research Canvas — infinite canvas to arrange papers, figures, hypotheses and experiments and connect them with labelled links.
- Citation Network — interactive graph to trace methodological lineage and find work you missed.
- Weekly digests — 5 to 15 newly published papers each Monday with a one-line reason per match.
- Follow researchers — track specific scientists by name.
Who it is for
PhD students, postdocs, principal investigators, and research labs who want a single workspace for paper discovery, organisation, and visual thinking.

- vs Zotero: PaperScope adds personalised discovery and a visual canvas on top of a reference library.
- vs Connected Papers: PaperScope goes beyond one-off citation graphs with ongoing discovery, organisation, and mapping.
