Scholarcy is a service that uses machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to read and condense academic papers into referenced summaries. Either upload your PDFs to Scholarcy, or give Scholarcy the public URL of a PDF and it will read the paper, break it down into readable chunks, and summarise it automatically. It will also read the bibliography and generate a link for each reference so that you can download cited papers.

How Scholarcy can help you

Saves you hundreds of hours

Scholarcy, the online article summarizer tool, reads your research articles, reports and book chapters in seconds and breaks them down into bite-sized sections – so you can quickly assess how important any document is to your work.
By identifying key information such as study participants, data analyses, main findings and limitations, researchers and students tell us the time spent appraising a study is reduced by over 70%.

Extracts the key facts, figures and references in seconds.

As article summarizer tool, Scholarcy creates a summary flashcard of any article, report or document in Word or PDF format. It creates links to open access versions of cited sources, and can be configured to extract figures, tables and images.

Scholarcy helps you to speed-read the article, follow the arguments and take away the main points in minutes. And if you’re looking for referenced article – they’re only a click away.

Builds you a personal summarized research library

Scholarcy’s browser extension for Chrome and Edge works with open-access repositories such as arXiv, biorXiv, and OSF Preprints. It also integrates with Scholarcy Library – a pay-monthly subscription service that builds a searchable collection of your summary cards, accessible from any device.
