Semantic Scholar is a free, AI-powered research and discovery tool for scientific literature, developed by the non-profit Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (AI2). It aims to help researchers navigate the ever-growing volume of scientific papers more efficiently by using artificial intelligence to understand the meaning and connections within the research. Key features include AI-powered search that analyzes citations and context for more relevant results; Semantic Reader, an augmented PDF reader with AI features (citation cards, TLDR summaries); paper overviews highlighting key points; visualization of connections between papers; author profiles with metrics; a personal library to save and organize papers; paper and author metrics and rankings; and APIs for developers. Semantic Scholar’s AI is central to its functionality, powering context understanding, citation analysis, summary generation, author disambiguation, and personalized recommendations. The platform is free and widely used by researchers, students, publishers, and librarians across all scientific domains for finding, analyzing, and managing scientific information. Access is available via web browsers, browser extensions, and third-party desktop applications. Semantic Scholar is actively developed and integrates with bibliography management tools (like Zotero) and offers APIs for custom applications. Despite being highly regarded for its capabilities and value, some users note potential inaccuracies in AI summaries and a primary focus on English-language publications.
