## What is Research Unlocked?

Research Unlocked, Knowledge Made Open

Search the latest research. Understand it. Share it, in seconds.

Research Unlocked lets you search millions of studies across PubMed, Europe PMC, and Semantic Scholar and turn them into clear, ready-to-share content without ever leaving the app. Built for patients, advocates, researchers, clinicians, and science communicators who want to make knowledge accessible to the people who need it most.

HOW IT WORKS

Search the literature: type a keyword, author, or condition and instantly search PubMed, Europe PMC, and Semantic Scholar at once. Find the study, tap Summarize, no copy-pasting required.

Explore the Autoimmune Research Hub:  browse studies organized by condition and body system, add keyword filters (treatment, mechanisms, patient outcomes, and more), and get summaries in Patient or Professional mode.

Add your own article: paste text, enter a URL, or upload a PDF, Word, TXT, or HTML file. Works with DOIs, preprint servers, news articles, and most public web pages.

Choose your settings: pick your audience (General Public, Patient, Professional, or Academic), output format (text, AI image, or both), and target platform.

Generate and share: get platform-optimized summaries for Twitter/X, LinkedIn, and Instagram, then copy, save, or post directly to connected accounts in one tap.
