Researchly

AI-Powered Academic Research Workspace for Students

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.

What is Researchly?

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.

Core Features

What is Discover on Researchly?

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.

Who is Roy and what does Roy do?

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.

What is the Researchly Project Workspace?

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.

What is the Researchly Academy?

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.

How does Researchly verify university affiliation?

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.

What is the Journal Checker on Researchly?

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.

What is the Topic Finder on Researchly?

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Researchly used for?
Researchly is used by university students and early-career researchers to find academic papers, manage research projects, write research papers with AI assistance, learn research skills through a structured curriculum, and collaborate with other researchers.
Is Researchly free?
Yes, Researchly offers a free tier with access to the full curriculum, paper discovery, AI research assistant (Roy), and project workspace. Premium tiers offer higher AI usage limits and advanced features.
How is Researchly different from ChatGPT or other AI tools?
Researchly is purpose-built for academic research workflows. Roy operates in Mentor Mode and cannot ghostwrite papers. Researchly also provides verified paper discovery across real academic databases, project management, and a learning curriculum, all in a single connected workspace.
Where is Researchly's data stored?
All Researchly data is stored on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the EU Frankfurt (eu-central-1) region, making it GDPR-compliant by design. The platform uses AWS DynamoDB, S3, Cognito, Lambda, API Gateway, and Bedrock.
Does Researchly have academic integrity features?
Yes. Roy's Mentor Mode prevents ghostwriting and uses Socratic questioning. The platform generates AI disclosure statements compliant with university AI policies. Students can export a Research Trail - a verifiable audit log of research activity - to share with faculty.
Who built Researchly?
Researchly is built and operated by Lunox Solutions Inc., a member of the NVIDIA Inception Program and AWS Startups.

Research in Medicine looks like this

The specific friction that slows students in your field down.

1

The literature is an ocean.

A single clinical question returns hundreds of trials, reviews, and guidelines — from journals, registries, and preprint servers. Knowing what to trust, and what's current, is half the battle.

2

Evidence has a hierarchy — your tools don't.

Case report or meta-analysis, RCT or expert opinion: your paper has to weigh them differently, but your browser tabs treat them all the same.

3

Zero time.

You're researching between ward rounds and exam blocks. Every minute spent re-finding a trial you already read is a minute you didn't have.

How Researchly fits Medicine

Every feature translated into how your field actually works.

Search across 36 sources — clinical literature included.

Find trials, reviews, and guidelines in one search instead of six databases, and save them straight into your project with full metadata.

Roy reads your actual paper.

Ask whether your introduction justifies the study, whether your methods section holds, or what a reviewer would flag — and get feedback grounded in your draft, not generic advice.

What you can do with it

Where research in Medicine takes you.

1
Pre-clinical years

A literature review for a course — done in a weekend, not a month.

2
Clinical years

A case report or audit with your department, organized enough to survive rotation chaos.

3
First conference

An abstract and poster built from a project you already have — not started from zero.

4
Your CV

Research experience is what separates matching applicants. Build the habit now.

5
Beyond

The systematic review, the thesis, the publication with your name on it.

Frequently asked questions

Can Researchly handle medical citation styles?

Researchly exports in APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago, and a modern clean style today, with more styles on the roadmap. Your references are stored as structured data, so switching styles never means retyping.

Does it search clinical literature specifically?

Researchly searches across 36 sources spanning the biomedical and general scientific literature, so trials, reviews, and foundational papers surface in one search.

Can I run a study with real participants?

Yes — build a survey inside your project, share it by link or QR, collect responses, and turn the data into publication-style figures. Ethics approval remains your institution's process; Researchly organizes everything around it.

I have 20 minutes between rotations. Is that enough?

That's the point. Everything is where you left it — open the project, read one paper, leave one note, and the work compounds.

Will Roy write my paper for me?

No — and that's deliberate. Roy critiques, structures, and strengthens your writing like a mentor would. The work stays yours, which is exactly what your program requires.
