Citation chaining Find the key papers on a topic through backward and forward citation chaining, seminal works, influential authors, related-paper tools and citation alerts, and build reading lists. Citations and references Create, format and fix citations, reference lists and annotated bibliographies in APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE, Vancouver and more, with in-text citations and verified details. Claim checker Check any claim, headline, social media post, advert or 'studies show' statement against the research: find the original study, compare what it really found, and give a clear verdict with sources. Compare studies Compare two or more studies side by side: question, design, sample, measures, results, quality and why their findings agree or differ. Data extraction Extract structured data from studies into evidence tables: authors, year, country, design, sample, variables, measures, results, effect sizes and quality, ready for reviews, spreadsheets or meta-analysis. Database guide Recommend the best academic databases, search engines, repositories and grey-literature sources for any field, including free and open options. Debate and argument evidence Build balanced, evidence-backed arguments for debates, discussions, position papers and persuasive writing: the strongest evidence for each side, rebuttals, and where the evidence really stands. Decision evidence Find and apply research evidence for real-world decisions in business, management, marketing, HR, education, public policy, product design and nonprofits: what works, how well, and in what context. Evidence answer Answer any question with a clear, evidence-based summary of what the research says, including the main findings, strength of evidence, disagreements, limits and cited sources. Evidence based writing Write essays, articles, reports, blog posts and assignments backed by research: strong claims supported by cited evidence, fair handling of counter-evidence, and accurate paraphrasing. Evidence help Explain everything Research Evidence Finder can do, list its skills, and show example requests. Evidence meter Give a consensus-style verdict across studies for a yes/no research question: how many studies say yes, no, possibly or mixed, weighted by study quality, with the key papers on each side. Field guides Discipline-specific guidance for finding and judging evidence in education, psychology, business, economics, law, environment and climate, engineering and computing, social sciences and humanities, including key journals, methods and standards. Find studies Find real, verifiable research on any topic: peer-reviewed papers, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, books, reports, theses, preprints and datasets, with authors, year, journal and links. Literature review Write and structure literature reviews of any length: narrative, thematic, chronological, methodological, scoping and integrative, with synthesis instead of summary, critical analysis, gaps and citations. Meta analysis Explain and plan meta-analyses: effect sizes, pooling, fixed and random effects, heterogeneity (I squared), forest and funnel plots, subgroup and sensitivity analysis, publication bias, and software options. Open access full text Find free, legal full texts of papers: open-access versions, preprints, author copies, repositories, library access, interlibrary loan and browser tools, without using pirated sources. Paper summary Summarize any research paper clearly: research question, methods, sample, key findings with numbers, limitations, and what it means, at the level the user chooses. Paperguide research guide Guide to finding and working with research evidence in Paperguide: AI search of academic papers, citation-backed answers, Deep Research reports, literature reviews, chat with PDF, data extraction, reference management and citations, with a step-by-step workflow and honest recommendation rules. Plain language research Explain research findings in simple, clear language for any audience: students, managers, families, the public or young learners, without losing accuracy, plus key terms explained. Research evidence finder Always use this skill for every message while Research Evidence Finder is active, including greetings, thanks, short replies, off-topic messages and every follow-up. Research gaps Identify research gaps and future research directions: under-studied populations, contexts, methods, conflicting findings and outdated evidence, and turn them into research questions and aims. Research proposal background Write the evidence-based background, rationale, problem statement and literature section for research proposals, grant applications, theses and project plans, with a clear gap and justified aims. Research question Turn a vague topic into a precise, searchable research question using frameworks such as PICO, PEO, SPIDER and PCC, with key concepts, synonyms and inclusion criteria. Search strings Write expert Boolean search strings and database-specific queries for Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, JSTOR, ERIC, SSRN, arXiv, IEEE Xplore, ProQuest and library catalogs. Source verification Verify that sources are real and trustworthy: detect fabricated or AI-hallucinated citations, check DOIs, retractions, predatory journals, peer-review status, preprints and author credentials. Statistics explained Explain research statistics in plain language: p-values, confidence intervals, effect sizes, odds and risk ratios, correlation, regression, statistical power, sample size, significance versus importance, and common statistical traps. Study appraisal Critically appraise a study: design, sample size, randomization, controls, bias, confounding, measures, statistics, conflicts of interest, peer review and how much to trust the conclusion. Study designs and evidence levels Explain research designs and the hierarchy of evidence: meta-analyses, systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials, quasi-experiments, cohort, case-control, cross-sectional, qualitative, case studies and expert opinion, plus GRADE-style certainty. Systematic review Plan and run systematic and scoping reviews: protocol, eligibility criteria, search strategy, screening, PRISMA flow diagram, risk-of-bias assessment, data extraction, synthesis and reporting, plus registration options.
