Phase 1 · Ranked publications
Topic Map · clusters & research gaps
Not keyword search. A research strategy.
SciCo expands your intent into many optimized queries, then reads, scores and organizes the results by meaning.
AI query expansion
Your topic becomes a set of optimized academic queries with synonyms and hypernyms — tune the Query Entropy to widen or narrow the net.
AI relevance match
Every paper is read and scored against your intent. The AI Match score ranks results by true conceptual overlap, not keyword overlap.
Topic Map & research gaps
An interactive map of the field groups papers into themed branches, with a mindmap that walks from the well-studied core out toward the under-explored frontier.
PI & lab profiling
Phase 2 deep-profiles the Principal Investigators behind the papers — recent output, lab focus, and fit for your research direction.
