Can I try ResearcherFlow before creating an account?
Yes. The free paper summarizer accepts a DOI or paper link and uses the title and available abstract to prepare a structured summary. You can also view a prepared example. Create a free workspace when you want to keep a paper and continue with Flow.
What can I bring in, and can I take it out again?
Add papers by DOI or link, import them from Zotero or Mendeley, and upload files. Export a workspace as Markdown, JSON or CSV, download a ZIP snapshot of everything, or publish a manuscript to OSF. Nothing is deleted if you change plans.
Is my research used to train AI models?
Not without your explicit consent. When you use an AI feature, the relevant parts of your workspace are sent to our AI provider to prepare the response. The privacy policy has the details.
Do I have to follow the scientific method in a fixed order?
No. Start with the question, observation or result you have. ResearcherFlow connects papers, questions, experiments and notes so you can revisit earlier steps as the evidence changes.
What does the scientific-method indicator show?
It shows the kind of work Flow is doing in the current conversation, such as searching sources, planning a test or drafting a manuscript section. It also shows when a proposed change is waiting for your review. It does not assign a permanent stage to your project or track work you do outside Flow.
Can I use it for one thesis or an individual project?
Yes. Start with one workspace for your topic, add the sources you are using, and give Flow a focused research question. You can keep building that context through reading, experiments and writing. See Pricing for the current plan limits.
