AI research tool library
Browse tools by the research job they need to support
This English library organizes tools for researchers who need to search papers, read PDFs, manage references, write manuscripts, analyze data, and evaluate open-source research projects. Covered tools now open English decision pages; uncovered tools still link to the current full detail pages.
Use categories when you already know the tool type. Use topics when you need a workflow-first decision path.
Start from topicsI need to find papers
Start with AI literature search, PubMed query design, citation trails, and novelty checks.
I need to read PDFs faster
Compare translation, AI reading, annotation, summary, and Zotero-based reading workflows.
I need to write or revise a paper
Use structure-first methods, reporting checklists, citation review, and careful AI polishing.
I need reproducible analysis
Look for statistics, bioinformatics, imaging, visualization, and open-source automation tools.
Reading and translation tools
Each card keeps the decision lightweight: what the tool is called, which research job it supports, and where to inspect either the English decision page or the current full detail page.
