MapleScholar — open research discovery, curated and explained
Explore MapleScholar+ for curated abstracts and insights—making research easier to find, easier to understand, and more equitable across languages and regions.
Abstract
MapleScholar advances open science access, curation, and discovery by making research easier to find, easier to understand, and more equitable across languages and regions.
We surface research and link to open-access full text when available.
We support multilingual visibility and comprehension while preserving academic meaning.
We publish learning materials and run workshops to help people evaluate evidence and use AI responsibly.
We support verification-focused review practices for institutions and programs.
MapleScholar is a nonprofit initiative that helps people discover high-value research, understand it across languages, and strengthen trust in citations and sources.
A curated "front page for research" where you can browse what's emerging, resurfacing, and genuinely novel—using structured, evidence-based signals rather than user opinion.
Highlights select works we are permitted to present in full—published with permission from authors/institutions. We prioritize research equity, multilingual visibility, and underrepresented scholarship.
MapleScholar+ is our primary discovery program. It is a curated discovery layer that helps people quickly grasp what research is gaining attention, what important work is being overlooked, and what looks genuinely novel—using structured, evidence-based signals rather than user opinion.
Think of it as a front page for research—where you can browse what's emerging, what's resurfacing, and what's truly novel.

Overlooked or under-cited research with renewed relevance today.
Notable first-of-kind results, methods, or demonstrations with high potential impact.
Featured Research highlights select works we are permitted to present in full—published with permission from authors/institutions. This section prioritizes research equity by elevating valuable work from underrepresented regions, emerging labs, early-career researchers, and non-English scholarship (with explicit permission). When possible, we provide interactive reading experiences with summaries and visual explainers.
RAG-URL Protocol is our open research framework and ongoing initiative for building evidence-grounded AI systems that keep answers tied to verifiable sources, support traceability to research artifacts (DOIs, preprints, datasets), improve multilingual access while preserving academic meaning, and emphasize verification-first design.

Who this program prioritizes: independent researchers, self-taught scholars, under-resourced authors, and people navigating language barriers.
For Thesis, Grant, and Dissertation Review. We help institutions strengthen academic review by validating citations, checking source consistency, and supporting transparent research practices—especially where AI tools are involved.
Partner with usWorkshops and toolkits to help learners and institutions evaluate sources, understand evidence quality, and use AI responsibly in academic settings.
