PaperScope: Research Workspace for Discovering & Organising Scientific Papers
PaperScope is a research workspace for academic researchers. It combines personalised paper discovery, a literature library, and an infinite Research Canvas for mapping ideas and citations. Free for your first 4 weeks, then EUR 3.99 every 3 months or EUR 12.99 a year.
Not to be confused with unrelated software of the same name in medical imaging. The canonical URL is https://thepaperscope.com/.
Key features
- Personalised Paper Discovery — a personal model ranks new papers against your library each week, not just your keywords.

- Citation Network — interactive graph to trace methodological lineage and find work you missed.
- Weekly digests — 5 to 15 newly published papers each Monday with a one-line reason per match.
- Follow researchers — track specific scientists by name.
Who it is for
PhD students, postdocs, principal investigators, and research labs who want a single workspace for paper discovery, organisation, and visual thinking.
