Open Research: Turn a Question Into a Cited Brief
The Research notebook searches 300M+ academic and scientific paper records and your library, writes a cited brief and a findings table, and lists every source it found.
Rivul AI is free. Sign in with Google to use the workspace.
The notebook shows which sources are on for each question and marks every source it found as Cited or Not used, so you can inspect the evidence before using it.
Why the Source Scope Is Shown
A broad AI answer can hide what was searched, which sources shaped the response, and whether the evidence actually supports the wording. Open Research in Rivul AI keeps the source scope, answer, evidence ledger, and manuscript handoff in one reviewable workflow.
Search scientific papers
Ask across the Rivul Index, your saved library, or both, with the sources for each question shown in the note.
Inspect the evidence ledger
Review retrieved and cited sources separately, then open the underlying record or available paper before relying on a finding.
Carry findings into the draft
Use an answer you have checked in the manuscript with its source record attached instead of rebuilding the citation after copy and paste.
Workflow
Frame the question
Ask a focused research question and keep the Rivul Index, your Library, or both on. Each run shows three steps: Search sources, Select evidence, and Write cited brief.
Review the evidence
Inspect which scholarly records were retrieved, which were cited, and what the original sources actually say.
Write with control
Move only useful findings you have checked into your draft and keep the citations connected to the manuscript.
An Evidence Workflow, Not an Open-Access Promise
Rivul AI searches scholarly metadata and links to source locations. Full-text availability depends on the paper, repository, publisher, and your access rights. The feature does not replace reading the original study or following its license and terms.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Open Research in Rivul AI?
Open Research is the Research notebook in Rivul AI's multimodal AI research workspace. You ask a question across scholarly papers and your library, get a cited brief and a findings table, and inspect every source before using a finding.
Can Open Research search scientific papers?
Yes. The Rivul Index source searches metadata for 300M+ scholarly works, and the Library source uses the extracted text of papers you saved. Both are on by default; turn one off to search only the other. Inside a paper, Research also offers This paper.
Can Rivul AI search academic papers?
Yes. Open Research searches indexed academic paper metadata through the Rivul Index and keeps the source record available for inspection. Full-text availability depends on the paper and your access rights.
Does Open Research include citations?
Answers can include cited source records, and findings can move into a manuscript with the source attached. You should still open the source and confirm that it supports the sentence.
Does Open Research provide every paper's full text?
No. Rivul AI links to available source locations and can use accessible or uploaded text, but open-access and full-text availability vary by record and publisher.
Can AI agents search research papers with Rivul AI?
Yes. Research agents in Rivul AI search the Rivul Index and your library and write a cited report, and Rivul MCP gives Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other MCP clients read-only scholarly search.
