Discover how research fields are structured, how ideas connect, and where science is heading.\n\nPendar helps you explore and analyze scientific research using evidence from the published literature\u2014not guesses or generic AI summaries.\n\nUnderstand your research. Tell Pendar the name you publish under and uncover promising areas you haven't explored yet. Discover your main research themes, see how they are evolving and identify the fields building on your work.\n\nExplore a research field. See how a field is organized into different themes, how those themes connect to neighboring disciplines, and which areas are growing or gaining momentum.\n\nMeasure the size and direction of a field. Find out how many papers have been published, whether research activity is growing or declining, which subfields are advancing fastest, who funds the work, and which papers are worth reading first.\n\nTrace the influence of a paper. See which research areas have built on a publication, how its ideas have spread, and whether its citation activity is increasing over time.\n\nDiscover journals and researchers. Find journals publishing in a particular research area and explore the work of colleagues, potential collaborators, or prospective advisors.\n\nVerify your references. Paste a bibliography to check each reference against the published record. Identify incorrect citations and retracted papers. Pendar verifies the references you provide rather than silently substituting similar-looking publications.\n\nDesigned for graduate students, postdocs, professors, and researchers planning their next paper, grant, collaboration, or career move.\n\nGrounded in published research.

Two new skills, map-my-research and map-a-field, read and draw these maps. Citation checking stays: verify_paper and audit_bibliography read more citation styles, accept arXiv and PubMed IDs, report a cited title that differs from the published one, and say when a lookup could not be completed instead of calling a paper missing."
