Paste your half-finished research paper into Sourcely. Watch it find relevant academic sources in seconds. No more hunting through Google Scholar for hours. Sourcely scans your text and pinpoints exactly which parts need citations. Then it serves up papers from its database of over 200 million sources.
You'll see your text highlighted in different sections. Each highlight gets matched with specific papers that support that claim or argument. Graduate students writing their thesis will find this useful when they've got a solid draft but need to back up their arguments with credible sources.
Sourcely goes beyond basic search results.
Source summaries give you quick overviews without opening every PDF. Advanced filters let you narrow down by publication year or relevance. Deep Academic Search digs deeper for highly specialized topics — though the Pro plan at $14 monthly limits how many deep searches you get.
Everything gets stored in a citations library. Export references in whatever format your university requires. You can even chat with sources conversationally to understand complex papers better.
100,000+ users suggest academics find real value here. Sure, you could do all this manually with traditional databases. That takes hours instead of minutes. The yearly plan at $167 makes more sense if you're constantly writing papers.
