ai stack for researchers

A practical research stack for literature discovery, synthesis, note organization, and evidence checking.

Goal of this workflow

Reduce time spent on repetitive literature work while keeping the researcher in control of judgment and verification.

Memex Research

Synthesis

Best used when you need multi-paper summarization and faster review workflows.

Elicit

Structured search

Helpful for narrowing literature and framing questions.

Consensus

Evidence lookup

Useful for faster high-level checks before deeper reading.

Zotero

Reference management

Keeps citations and sources organized.

Scite

Citation context

Adds nuance to how papers are cited and discussed.

Connected Papers

Discovery graph

Good for exploring related work visually.

It balances search, synthesis, citation management, and discovery rather than overloading one tool to do everything.

Use Zotero plus one AI synthesis tool and add the rest only for heavier projects.

Start with Zotero, Memex Research, and Consensus.

Add note pipelines, PDF annotation tools, and reproducible research workflows on top of this foundation.
