Overview
Abstract Recommender is an AI abstract generator for research papers that already exist as a full manuscript. You upload one PDF or Word (.docx) file, and the tool returns two results: a draft abstract based on your document and a numbered set of suggested keywords, so it also works as a research paper keyword generator. It fits the stage after the main text exists, such as before a journal submission, a conference deadline, or a thesis hand-in, when a starting point helps you compare against your own summary. The draft is a suggestion, not a finished abstract. You stay responsible for checking that every aim, method, and finding it mentions actually appears in your paper, and for fitting it to the word limit and structure your target venue requires.

The first stage reads the uploaded manuscript and writes a draft abstract, shown under Generated Abstract. Because it starts from your own paper rather than a blank prompt, the draft gives you something concrete to compare with what the study actually reports. Copy Abstract places the text on your clipboard so you can paste it into your manuscript and revise it there.
A second stage suggests keywords and lists them as numbered tags under Generated Keywords. Treat them as candidates for a journal submission form or a repository record: keep the terms that describe your contribution, replace any that are too broad, and add field-specific vocabulary. Copy Keywords copies the whole numbered list in one action.
Your ten most recent completed runs appear in the Recent Uploads panel with the file name and date. Selecting one reloads its abstract and keywords, which helps when you compare drafts from revised versions of a manuscript, and you can delete entries you no longer need. While a document is processing, you can work in other Assistemia tools.
How it works
Save the most complete version of your paper as a PDF or Word (.docx) file of up to 20 MB. A manuscript with clear introduction, methods, results, and conclusion sections gives the generator more to work from than an existing abstract alone. Each run processes one file.
Drag the file into the upload area or click to choose it, confirm the selected file, and select Upload & Run. The workspace shows progress through two stages, Generating Abstract and Generating Keywords, and then displays both results on the same page.
Compare each sentence of the draft with your manuscript and remove any method, number, or conclusion the paper does not support. Then shorten or restructure the abstract to your journal's limit and format, and choose the keywords that match its author guidelines.
Inputs, outputs & coverage
Abstract Recommender works on one manuscript at a time and returns text for you to edit. It is not a submission-ready abstract service.

Create an account to try Abstract Recommender on your own manuscript. Free use of this tool is limited each month, and Free accounts also share a monthly usage cap across Assistemia's tools.
Premium gives you more monthly uses of this tool than Free, so you can generate a fresh draft whenever a revision changes your results or framing.
Frequently asked questions
Answers about files, how drafts are produced, editing keywords, and journal requirements.
Contact our teamAbstract Recommender accepts one PDF or Microsoft Word (.docx) file per run, up to 20 MB. Other formats, including older .doc files, are rejected at upload, and you can select only one file at a time. For PDFs, the workspace shows a first-page preview so you can confirm you chose the right document. Upload the complete manuscript, including methods and results, because the draft is written from the document you provide.
After upload, the manuscript is processed in two stages shown in the workspace: Generating Abstract, then Generating Keywords. The abstract is an AI-generated draft based on your document, so it is a summary to evaluate rather than an edited or approved text. It may leave out a point you consider central or phrase a finding more strongly than your paper does. Read it side by side with your manuscript, correct anything missing or changed, and rewrite it in your own voice.
The suggested keywords are displayed as a numbered list, and Copy Keywords copies the whole list to your clipboard in that format. Editing happens after you paste: delete terms that are too general, merge near-duplicates, and add any specialist term your field expects. Journals often limit how many keywords you may submit or ask for terms from a set vocabulary, so check the author guidelines and choose the final set yourself.
Not automatically. Abstract Recommender is an abstract writing tool for producing a first draft, and it has no setting for a target word count, a structured format with headings, or a particular journal's style. Check the author guidelines for the limit and required sections, then shorten or reorganize the draft to match. A generated draft does not guarantee that a journal will accept your paper or how databases will index it.
