Researchly is an AI-powered academic research workspace that helps university students and researchers discover papers, manage projects, write research papers, and learn how to conduct academic research. The platform combines a structured curriculum, an AI research assistant named Roy, a 7.7-million-paper discovery engine, project management tools, and an academic community. Operated by Lunox Solutions Inc. and backed by the NVIDIA Inception Program and AWS Startups. Available at app.researchly.study.
Researchly is an organised academic research workspace that gives students everything they need in one place: paper discovery across 36 sources, an AI research assistant (Roy) that understands your project context, a structured project workspace with tasks and paper writing tools, a research Academy with 11 modules and 46 lessons, and a researcher community.
Discover is Researchly's academic paper search engine. It searches simultaneously across 36 sources including Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, arXiv, PubMed, bioRxiv, medRxiv, CORE, Papers With Code, and NASA ADS. Results are ranked by relevance to the user's research project. A default last-5-years filter surfaces the most current research.
Roy is Researchly's AI research assistant, powered by Claude (Anthropic) via AWS Bedrock. Roy operates in Mentor Mode: he helps students structure, critique, and improve their research rather than writing papers for them. Roy has full context awareness - he reads the student's paper sections, project tasks, references, and research question.
The Researchly Project Workspace is an all-in-one research management environment. It includes a Kanban task board, a paper editor with structured sections (Abstract, Introduction, Literature Review, Methodology, Results, Discussion, Conclusion), a references manager, a surveys builder with AI generation, team collaboration, and an inline Roy AI panel. Everything is connected - Roy can see the paper content, references, and tasks.
The Researchly Academy is a structured academic research curriculum with 11 modules and 46 lessons covering the complete research process: research mindset, finding and reading papers, database navigation, literature reviews, research methodology, survey design, academic writing, citations, peer review, and AI tools for researchers. Available at academy.researchly.study.
Researchly verifies university affiliation through two methods. First, automatic email domain verification against a database of 10,500+ university domains. Second, AI document verification: students can upload a student ID, enrolment letter, or transcript, which is analysed by Claude Vision AI to confirm legitimacy.
The Journal Checker verifies whether an academic journal is legitimate before submission. It checks 217,000+ sources including Scopus, OpenAlex, DOAJ, and predatory journal watchlists, returning quartile ranking, h-index, SJR score, article processing charge, and predatory journal warnings.
The Topic Finder uses 6 AI agents in parallel to generate personalised research topic suggestions based on the student's interests, academic level, location, and career goals. Each suggested topic can be converted into a full project workspace with AI-generated tasks.
11 modules: (0) Research Foundations, (1) Finding Your Topic, (2) Academic Databases, (3) Reading Papers, (4) Literature Review, (5) Research Methodology, (6) Survey Design, (7) Academic Writing, (8) Citations, (9) AI Tools for Research, (10) Publishing and Peer Review.
Specs, standards, papers, and test data everywhere? Researchly turns your project's paper trail into an organized, defensible whole.
Join the waitlist →The specific friction that slows students in your field down.
Standards, datasheets, technical reports, and journal articles all feed one design decision — and they live in five different places.
Months of good engineering, then a scramble to reconstruct why each decision was made and which source justified it.
The gap between a results spreadsheet and a clean, labeled figure eats entire weekends.
Every feature translated into how your field actually works.
Journal articles and technical literature in one search, saved into your project with the metadata intact.
Sources, design notes, test logs, task board, and the report draft — one project, so the justification trail exists while you work, not reconstructed after.
Turn test results into clean, publication-style charts — labeled, captioned, and inserted into your report as proper figures.
Ask whether your methodology section justifies your design choices, or whether your results support your conclusions — Roy reads your actual draft and answers specifically.
Where research in Engineering takes you.
Lab reports that stop being a formatting fight.
Documentation done as you go — the final report assembles instead of ambushes.
A student paper or poster from the project you already documented.
Documented, defensible project work is what employers and grad programs actually probe in interviews.
The master's thesis, the journal paper, the patent disclosure with a clean paper trail.
A real Researchly project: literature organized by degradation mechanism, test-cycle data charted into comparison figures, the task board tracking build milestones, and Roy reviewing whether the results section supports the efficiency claims.
APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago, and a modern clean style today, with more styles on the roadmap. References are structured data, so style changes never mean retyping.
Yes — import sources by DOI or URL and keep technical documents alongside papers in the same project library.
Yes. Bring your results in, and generate clean bar, line, or scatter figures with proper labels and captions — inserted into your paper as numbered figures.
Yes — invite teammates into the project with editor or viewer roles. Sources, tasks, and the draft stay in sync for everyone.
Roy critiques structure, justification, and clarity against your actual draft and sources — the things reports lose marks on. It guides; it doesn't ghostwrite.
One organized workspace — built for how engineering students actually work.
