Research intelligence for CS/AI papers — track what matters, who drives it, what to read first.
Stop skimming paper lists. ResearchScope scores, tags, and surfaces the papers that actually move your field.
ResearchScope is an open research intelligence dashboard for computer science and AI papers. A GitHub Actions pipeline runs daily, fetches papers from arXiv (all 19 cs.* categories) and 20+ major conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, ACL, KDD, AAAI, SIGIR, and more), enriches them with multi-signal scores, detects research gaps, and persists everything to a Supabase PostgreSQL database. The frontend is hosted on GitHub Pages and queries Supabase directly — no file-size caps, no rolling windows, no limits.
| Date | Highlight |
|---|---|
| May 2026 | 60,000+ Papers — Expanded conference coverage: ICML (2020–25), AISTATS, UAI, CVPR (2021–25), ICCV, ECCV, ICLR/NeurIPS (2022+), plus S2 bulk fetch for AAAI, IJCAI, KDD, WWW, SIGIR, WSDM, CHI, SIGMOD, ICSE. Conference JSON cap raised to 20,000; Supabase stores all. |
| May 2026 | Supabase Backend — All papers, authors, topics, gaps, and labs live in a Supabase PostgreSQL database. Every page queries Supabase directly — no file-size caps, no rolling windows. The full dataset is always browsable. |
| May 2026 | Full Dataset Access — The papers browser now shows all papers with server-side filtering and pagination. Search covers the entire database live. |
| Apr 2026 | CiteLens Integration — Every arXiv paper card now has an "🔍 Analyze citations" button that opens CiteLens with the paper pre-loaded to see who cited it and why it mattered. |
| Apr 2026 | Topic Network Graph — Interactive force-directed graph on the Topics page visualising relationships between 80+ research areas. |
| Apr 2026 | Institution & Author Prestige Scoring — Papers from top labs (OpenAI, DeepMind, Google Research, MIT, Stanford…) and renowned researchers get a scoring boost. |
| Apr 2026 | Conference Papers Database — Permanent store covering NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ACL, EMNLP, NAACL and more. Conference papers never expire. |
| Mar 2026 | My Library — Save papers to a browser-local personal library (localStorage). No account required. |
| Mar 2026 | Conference Recommender — Paste a title and abstract to get ranked venue matches with deadlines and reviewer expectations. |

ResearchScope and CiteLens are companion tools that cover the full research workflow:
ResearchScope ──── "Here's a paper worth reading today"
│
🔍 Analyze citations
│
▼
CiteLens ──────── "Here's who cited it and why it mattered"
│
🔭 Browse topic in ResearchScope
│
▼
ResearchScope ──── "Discover more papers on this topic"
- ResearchScope → CiteLens: click "🔍 Analyze citations" on any arXiv paper card
- CiteLens → ResearchScope: click "🔭 ResearchScope" on any citing paper result
Both tools share the same SEMANTIC_SCHOLAR_API_KEY secret — one key covers both projects.

- Create a free project at supabase.com.
- Go to SQL Editor and run the contents of
supabase/schema.sqlto create all tables. - Add
SUPABASE_URLandSUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEYas GitHub Actions secrets. - Run the one-time migration to populate existing data:
pip install supabase export SUPABASE_URL=https://xxx.supabase.co export SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY=eyJ... python scripts/migrate_to_supabase.py
The workflow in .github/workflows/update.yml:
- Runs the Python pipeline to fetch and process papers.
- Commits updated JSON files to
data/. - Uploads the
site/folder as a GitHub Pages artifact and deploys it.
To enable Pages for a fork: go to Settings → Pages and set the source to GitHub Actions.
