Co-Founder Ramiz Nathani introduces you to Researcher
Keeping up-to-date with research can feel impossible, with papers being published faster than you’ll ever be able to read them. That’s where Researcher comes in: we’re simplifying discovery and making important discussions happen. With over 19,000 sources, including peer-reviewed journals, preprints, blogs, universities, podcasts and Live events across 10 research areas, you’ll never miss what’s important to you. It’s like social media, but better. Oh, and we should mention – it’s free.
Are you a passionate marine ecologist? An AI enthusiast? A Medical Practitioner? On Researcher, you’ll find the top academic journals whatever your area of interest. We’ve got comprehensive coverage across all subjects, ranging from chemistry and materials science to arts and humanities.
Academics from over 5,000 institutions across the globe are using Researcher to keep up to date with the sheer volume of literature published every day.

“It has been a pleasure to work with Researcher on their pilot promotional campaigns.

We look forward to working with them again in the future.” Sally Wynn-Jones, Head of Marketing, Nature Research

Chris Whelan, Medicine
“I’ve been looking for an app like this for years. Although other tools are useful for cataloguing PDFs and making annotations, this is the first app that presents new research abstracts in an attractive and easy-to- browse interface. It’s much more efficient than alerts, and helps me catch up on the latest publications during my work commute. Kudos to the developers on a job well done!” Chris Whelan, Medicine, University of Southern California
