CLUSTER ACADEMIC-PAPERS-RESEARCH · 60 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-08-13
Academic research and citation tools
This cluster comprises web apps, browser extensions, and research tools that help users find, manage, cite, and synthesize academic literature. Some focus on citation generation, others on literature review assistance, and a few on manuscript submission or tracking. The dated entry history is sparse: seven members appear between March 2025 and April 2026, with no clear trend. On traction, research-radar leads with 36 stars, followed by ManuscriptDock (9) and MentorOS (3).
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
