How to Use Article Finder
Discover relevant academic articles and research papers
Step-by-Step Guide
Enter Your Study Topic
Provide a concise topic for your research (2-30 words). Be specific about your area of interest. For example: 'Machine learning applications in early disease detection' or 'Blockchain technology in supply chain management'.
Add a Detailed Description (Optional)
Optional but recommended - expand on your topic with specific context, requirements, or questions you want to explore. If you fill it in, it must be 5-400 words. Include key concepts, methodologies you're interested in, or specific aspects you want to focus on.
Set Your Filters (Optional)
Refine your search with publication year range, publication types (article, conference paper, review, book chapter, and more), fields of study, journal quartile (Q1-Q4), open access status (yes/no), minimum citation count, author, and source/journal.
Review Results
Browse a short AI-generated summary of the literature, then results ranked into three relevance tiers (Relevant, Partially Relevant, and Ranked). Each result includes title, authors, source, year, citation count, abstract, and - where available - a Scimago quartile.

Tips & Best Practices
- Use specific keywords and avoid overly broad topics
- The detailed description helps AI understand context - be thorough!
- Filter by recent years (last 5 years) for cutting-edge research
- Quartile badges are informational (Scimago-based) - a faint 'N/A' badge means the venue wasn't in our quartile list, so no ranking could be confirmed
- Sort by citation count to find influential papers
