CS Research Intelligence Platform — 100,000+ papers, scored, ranked, and searchable.
Stop skimming paper lists. ResearchScope scores papers by impact, surfaces research gaps, recommends venues, and tracks who's driving the frontier — updated daily.
ResearchScope is an open research intelligence platform for computer science and AI. A daily GitHub Actions pipeline fetches papers from 6 data sources (arXiv, OpenAlex, ACL Anthology, OpenReview, PMLR, CVF, Semantic Scholar), enriches them with multi-signal scores, detects research gaps, and syncs to two backends:
- Railway PostgreSQL — full dataset, powers the REST API with full-text search and live browser queries
- Hugging Face Hub — public JSONL dataset for LLM training
The frontend is a static site on GitHub Pages backed by a FastAPI REST API on Railway.
