Frequently Asked Questions

What is moara.io?
moara.io is an AI-powered research platform built to streamline literature reviews from discovery to synthesis. It helps researchers, students, librarians, and R&D teams find, organize, and analyze academic work with speed, structure, and scientific rigor. By connecting trusted scholarly databases with intelligent automation, moara.io allows users to move through every stage of the research process in one cohesive workflow.
What makes it different from other tools?
Most AI research tools act like chatbots or Q&A engines—they answer one question at a time. moara.io is built for research, not conversation. It supports the entire workflow, allowing users to search hundreds of millions of papers, screen and tag results with collaborators, and generate structured insights that highlight methodologies, findings, and contributions. The result is not a simple summary, but a structured understanding of the literature that supports rigorous, transparent research.
How does moara.io use AI?
AI is built into moara.io to guide and accelerate the research process. It helps generate relevant search queries, extract structured information from papers, organize large collections, and synthesize insights across bodies of work. Our models—built on OpenAI and Hugging Face frameworks—are designed to augment scholarly work, not replace it. Every AI output is grounded in the underlying literature, allowing users to trace insights back to their original sources.
Where does the data come from?
moara.io connects to a broad network of scholarly databases, including Semantic Scholar, PubMed, Google Scholar, ClinicalTrials.gov, arXiv, OpenAlex, Cochrane, and other trusted repositories. By drawing from multiple sources, the platform ensures comprehensive coverage across disciplines while filtering out predatory or unreliable content. moara.io continuously expands its coverage to stay aligned with the evolving landscape of academic publishing.
Does it integrate with other tools I use?
Yes. moara.io is designed to work alongside existing research infrastructure. It integrates with tools like Zotero and LibKey, supports PDF uploads, and allows users to import citations in standard formats such as RIS and BibTeX. This enables researchers and librarians to unify their sources, notes, and full-text access in one place instead of managing multiple disconnected tools.
Who is moara.io for?
moara.io is built for people who take research seriously. Its users read full-text papers, use reference managers, collaborate with peers, and treat literature synthesis as a formal research method. Many are academics, graduate students, librarians, and research administrators who manage or support evidence-based work. moara.io helps both individual researchers and library teams conduct and coordinate reviews with more structure, transparency, and consistency.
Is it free to try?
Yes. moara.io offers a free forever plan that includes unlimited reviews, up to 50 papers per review, Google Scholar & Semantic Scholar search, PDF imports, and integrations with Zotero and LibKey. For researchers who need unlimited papers, advanced AI enrichments, systematic screening workflows, or team collaboration features, paid plans start at $10/month. Universities and institutions can access custom enterprise solutions with dedicated support and advanced security features.
