Lib4RI

Consensus is an AI-powered search engine for academic research. It searches peer-reviewed sources across all scientific domains, analyses findings, and provides synthesised answers with citations to the original research papers.

Key Features:

  • Pro Analysis – summarises key findings from top papers with citations  
  • Consensus Meter – visual overview showing agreement or disagreement among sources  
  • Ask Paper – chat with the full text of up to five papers

How to use: Enter your research question or use keywords, then review summarised findings from multiple studies. You can filter results by journal rank, study design, or field of study, and access full-text articles through your institutional subscription.

Useful for: Literature reviews, background research, grant preparation, and identifying research gaps.
