01Find
Search seven libraries from one box.
ResearchPie Search checks scholarly indexes and the open web together, then shows what you can open: a full PDF, an open-access copy, or the citation details alone.
- OpenAlex, CrossRef, Semantic Scholar, arXiv, Unpaywall, Wikimedia, and Brave Search
- Filter by best matches, scholarly work, or web references
- Save a search result, add a PDF, or capture a website
-
02Read
Every note stays attached to its source.
Highlight a PDF or a web page and write your notes right beside it. Each note keeps its link to the source it came from, so you always know where an idea started.
- PDF and website annotation
- Source and notes in a split view
- Quotes saved with the source they came from

Climate policy effectiveness: a systematic review
Programs that last tend to share measurable goals and stable funding. Climate adaptation is most effective when communities help set the priorities. Without that participation, plans stall before they reach residents.
Note, linked to this source
Community input shows up again here. Compare with the funding models in the adaptation report.

03Write
Draft where your research already lives.
Write inside the same project. Your sources and notes stay within reach, so you keep your train of thought instead of hunting through windows and tabs.
- Writing documents inside every project
- In-text citations from your saved sources
- Block quotes, bulleted lists, and numbered lists
-
04Cite
The bibliography comes together, too.
Every source you save carries its citation details. Your bibliography builds as you add sources, in the style your class asks for.
- MLA, APA, and Chicago
- Built from the sources already in your project
- Citation details you can correct at any time
That quote you saved?
