Semantic Scholar

Semantic Scholar is a free, AI-powered research tool for scientific literature. It indexes over 236 million papers across all fields of science, providing TLDR summaries and citation context to accelerate research. The platform offers an API for developers to build scholarly apps, and a beta Semantic Reader that enhances reading with contextual information. While primarily web-based, it requires account creation for full features, but remains free. Ideal for researchers, students, and developers needing quick access to paper insights and citation networks.
