ReadCube
Discover, read, organize, and cite research literature, all in one platform.
ReadCube is a literature management platform designed to help researchers and research-driven organizations discover, organize, read, annotate, share, and cite scholarly literature. It addresses the challenge of managing large volumes of publications and patents by centralizing the research workflow, from searching and building shared libraries to inserting citations and conducting systematic literature reviews.
The platform includes modules for literature management, literature monitoring, and systematic literature review. Its AI Assistant can answer questions drawn from a large corpus of publications and patents, with every answer linked to its source. SmartCite enables citation insertion in Word and Google Docs, and Document Delivery provides access to full texts. The platform integrates with Dimensions for advanced search and discovery, and offers browser extensions, desktop apps, and mobile apps for iOS and Android.
ReadCube is aimed at individual researchers, academic groups, and organizations such as R&D teams, medical affairs, and corporate libraries. It is offered in four editions: Essentials for individual researchers, Plus for small groups, Team for larger teams, and Enterprise for organizations. A 30-day free trial of Plus is available. Essentials and Plus are priced per user per month or per year, with academic discounts. Team and Enterprise pricing is based on requirements, with Enterprise offering unlimited users, single sign-on, and optional add-ons like systematic literature review.
