Who should subscribe to RR+?
Subscriptions are becoming a big part of monthly expenses, so it's wise to approach any newcomers with scrutiny. Below are some prompts to get your brain whirring about whether RR+ deserves a spot.
Researchers with a strategic approach to searching
If this isn't your first rodeo, or you've got some solid advice from a supervisor – congratulations – you'll be approaching research with specific search tasks in mind. RR+ can help you run targeted searches quickly, and with confidence:
Find the state of the art faster to ensure you're working from the latest knowledge.
Target foundational articles to develop an understanding of your field as a whole
Validate your research gap by checking topic intersections
Check your whole literature review for gaps to avoid nasty surprises
Researchers who are short on time
Look, this one is almost everyone, but it's worth reflecting on. Research projects are driven by early findings in the literature, so accelerating your path to a stable literature survey is going to make a serious impact on your research trajectory.
Researchers reviewing 100+ articles
For large literature reviews it's particularly hard to feel confident that you've covered everything. RR+ can act as a safety net for when manual checks become unwieldy (or even impossible):
Scan for potential holes in your literature review using as many as 300 articles in a single search
Add an extra layer of reassurance using keyword, journal, and date range filters.
Researchers working in a niche field
Search engines can bias towards articles with a lot of citations, which tend to come from more popular fields. The process of unearthing articles for niche subtopics can often become either time-consuming or tunnel-visioned.
Narrow your search towards subtopics in a controlled way using advanced search filters
Target the intersection between two topics to find other niche literature that may have been obscured by dominant fields
Researchers working on multiple papers
When working on multiple research papers it can be easier to keep separate sets of articles and notes. This way, working on one paper won't affect the data that underpins your others.
ResearchRabbit+ allows you to create multiple Projects, allowing you to separate articles, collections, and notes for each of your papers.
Researchers with the financial means for a subscription
Research doesn't often pay well. If you find yourself choosing between RR+ and a diet beyond noodles, we'd recommend the latter.
That's ok, and that's exactly why the ResearchRabbit Free Tier exists – you'll still be able to do great research, it just might take a little longer, involve a broader toolset, and/or a disciplined manual approach.
🌏 Reminder: RR+ is available at a discounted rate for some countries! Check our RR+ Country Discounts guide for more information.
