Built for title and abstract screening
Evidence in. Inspectable decisions out.
Research.cheap does more than label a title. It prepares the dataset, looks for safely available missing evidence, tests each record against your criteria, and preserves why every route happened.- Import and clean CSV, RIS, and BibTeX records, with deterministic duplicate checks.
- Recover evidence from supported sources without treating a failed search as evidence against a study.
- Apply your criteria with probabilities, evidence, and exclusion reasons kept inspectable.
- Route uncertainty to you instead of forcing a confident-looking answer.

Our latest internal validation
What happened across 12,668 citations.
We ran Research.cheap across six systematic reviews. It screened most citations automatically and sent uncertain ones to a person. Results vary by subject and review.91.66%received an automatic include or exclude decision
8.34%were flagged for a person to review
99.57%of studies researchers considered relevant were kept
99.91%of automatic exclusions matched the review decisions
How the study worked
We locked the system before testing and compared every result with the researchers’ final screening decisions. These numbers cover title and abstract screening—not the entire systematic review.
A fairer unit of value
Pay for useful work, not attempts.
No expensive annual seat just to screen one review. A Research Credit is used only when Research.cheap completes an automatic screening decision.Automatic decision completedOne screening credit

Researcher control stays visible
Automation you can audit, correct, and take with you.
Auditable decisionsCriteria evidence, probabilities, and exclusion reasons remain attached to each record.
Honest uncertaintyUncertain records go to review. Missing evidence is never treated as evidence against a study.
Portable resultsYour corrections remain separate from automatic output, and final results export to common research formats.
What is here—and what comes next
The affordable research toolkit is already useful. It is not finished.
Today, Research.cheap is strongest at systematic-review title and abstract screening, supported by focused preparation, checking, evidence, and classification tools. More research workflows will come later; we will label them when they exist.Explore today’s tools
Questions
Clear answers. No sales call.
Does Research.cheap search the literature for me?
No. Keep using the databases your protocol requires. Export the citations, then bring them to Research.cheap for preparation and title and abstract screening.
Does it replace researcher judgment or full-text review?
No. It makes routine include and exclude decisions, flags uncertain citations for you, and keeps every result correctable. It does not make final full-text or clinical conclusions.
What do the validation numbers mean?
In our latest study, Research.cheap screened 12,668 citations from six systematic reviews. It automatically included or excluded 91.66% and flagged 8.34% for a person to check. Results vary by subject and review.
Can I buy credits now?
