Research workspace
Search OpenAlex-indexed research publications and compare recent records. The explorer offers possible questions and underexplored combinations for further investigation; it does not establish novelty or exhaust the literature.
About this tool
Explore indexed publications, evidence clusters and candidate research questions.
How the research gap explorer works
The tool searches publications indexed by OpenAlex and summarizes the retrieved sample. Suggested gaps are prompts for additional review, not proof that no study exists.
Worked example
Try a narrow search such as polyphenol extraction deep eutectic solvents. Review article dates, study titles, publication links and overlapping concepts before writing research questions.
Frequently asked question
Can it prove a research topic is novel?
No. Coverage, indexing, query formulation and the search sample limit the result. Search additional scholarly databases and appraise the full-text evidence.
