About Literature Search  

One free search across the research world

Literature Search is completely free: search papers in every subject - biology, health, computer science, physics, math, chemistry, engineering, business, and more - plus US patents, research grants, clinical trials, and journals and conferences, all from a single search box, with time filters from the past week to any time.

Connected results, not just a list

Every paper comes back with a one-sentence highlight of its core contribution, a relevance score, and an impact factor - plus one-click jumps to related papers, patents, grants, venues, and experts, so one search becomes a map of the work around your topic rather than a flat result list.

Keep what you find

Save any result to your free Research Library with notes, tags, and reading status. To stop searching and start receiving, set up the personalized Daily Digest: it tracks the keywords, authors, and categories you choose across arXiv, PubMed, bioRxiv, medRxiv, and thousands of journals and conferences, with daily email delivery.
