Consensus: AI for Research

Consensus is AI search for research. Partnered with Wiley, AAAS, Sage, APA, ACS, and more. Search through 250M+ peer-reviewed papers in seconds.

It also includes 8M+ medical papers from top journals and clinical guidelines.

Over 10 million researchers, clinicians, and students use Consensus, at more than 10,000 hospitals, universities, and institutions from Stanford to Pfizer.

EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS FROM PEER-REVIEWED PAPERS
Search over 250 million papers across every field. Consensus reads the literature and synthesizes what it says in plain language, citing the papers it drew from — sentence by sentence, so you can check any claim against its source.

SEE WHERE THE SCIENCE STANDS
Ask a yes/no question and the Consensus Meter shows how the published evidence divides: how many studies support a claim, how many contest it, and how many are inconclusive. It's the fastest way to tell settled science from an open question.

JUDGE A PAPER BEFORE YOU READ IT
Open a Study Snapshot on any result and Consensus extracts what matters — methods, duration, location, outcomes, and results — so you can tell a case report from a controlled trial at a glance. Filter by study design, citation count, and publication date to keep only the evidence that counts.

GO DEEPER WHEN IT MATTERS
Pro works through 20 papers for a deeper synthesis. Switch on Deep and Consensus builds an advanced search strategy, reviews up to 50 papers, and returns a structured literature review — cited throughout.

ASK A PAPER DIRECTLY
Open any paper with an accessible full text and put questions to it. Upload your own PDF and do the same, which is useful when the paper you need to interrogate is already sitting on your phone.

ASK OUT LOUD
Dictate your question instead of typing it. Research questions are long and phones are small.

A LIBRARY THAT TRAVELS
Save papers into collections and export citations in APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, and BibTeX. Import your existing library from Zotero. Everything syncs with Consensus on the web, so what you find on your phone is waiting on your desk.

BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO CITE THEIR SOURCES
Researchers keeping up with a field. Clinicians checking the evidence before a decision. Graduate students writing literature reviews. Anyone who needs to know what the research actually says, and be able to prove it.

WHY RESEARCHERS TRUST IT
Consensus searches published, peer-reviewed literature — not the open web. We work with 7 of the 10 largest academic publishers, which means access to research you can't reach elsewhere. Nothing is generated without a citation you can follow.

Consensus is free to start. Sign in with the account you already use on the web, and your library, collections, and search history come with you.
