Four pre-built skills to start:
📚 Literature Review: one question, up to 100 papers
🕸️ Citation Snowballing: what a paper cited, who built on it
🔎 Reverse Citation Search: does research back a claim?
✅ Verify Citations: does each source support your claim, or even exist?
We built these from the tasks our users repeat most. Next up: custom skills you build yourself.
We're shipping something new every week in October. Catch up and follow along 👇

Today, we're announcing our new publisher partnerships with @ASMicrobiology and @RockUPress to bring the full text of their journals to Consensus.
We can now index, search, and cite every article in full from journals like JEM, JCB, mBio and more.
Biomedicine is now half of everything asked on Consensus...
→ 10M+ biomedical and clinical searches a month
→ Researchers at all 20 of the top 20 US research use Consensus
→ API volume is up 1,000% QoQ as pharma and AI biotechs build literature search into their agents.
ASM and RUP join a growing list of publishers meeting that demand.

Finding an under-researched area you can start a study in has always been time-consuming. But not anymore.
The new Research Gaps Matrix feature in Consensus turns one question into a coverage map to show you where research is missing.
This makes it much easier to:
🔍 Find a under-researched niche you can start a study in
❗️ Identify gaps in your library of research that you should fill
📄 Find a cross section of population/method (or anything custom) to run a targeted follow up search
Here's an example. If you went to a collection in your library and searched: "Show me a research gaps matrix comparing population to study method in this collection so I can see what I am missing"
Consensus will create a table showing you different populations, different study types, and how many papers you have that cover each different area. If there are any missing, you can instantly run a targeted search for them.

Consensus retweeted
This is big and exciting!
I’ve been using @consensusapp as my main research tool for ~5 years, and today they announced a partnership with AAAs.
They continue to improve their product constantly, which is a reason I’ve been a fan from the start.
Today we're announcing our partnership with @aaas to bring the full text of the @ScienceMagazine journals to Consensus.
We can now index, search, and cite from the full-text of every article in the Science family, so the next breakthrough is visible to researchers on day one.
AAAS joins a growing list of publisher partners, and the reason is simple: we send readers back to the source.
Every result routes to the paper with full attribution. Since AAAS content went live in August, click-throughs per search appearance have more than doubled.

Research doesn’t always start in a search engine anymore.
That’s why we’re bringing Consensus to the AI tools people already use.
Consensus is available in:
→ ChatGPT
→ Claude
→ Microsoft 365 Copilot
The assistant you use may change. Your standard for evidence shouldn’t.

📚 New in Consensus: Collection Sharing
Working on a group project? Now your whole group can search, save, and organize papers in one shared Collection.
Add papers as you find them, ask questions across what your group has collected, and keep everything in one place.
Less duplicate searching. Fewer lost links. Better group research.
Find the right papers, faster this school year.
Pulling up 200 results takes a second. Figuring out which ones actually answer your question takes hours.
That's what we're covering live on Tues, Sept 1 at 12PM ET. These 45 minutes are guaranteed to save you hours this school year.

Two AI bio teams already building with our API:
@OwkinScience: consensus.app/home/community…
@ProjectBiomni: consensus.app/home/community…
Every Consensus plan includes free API/MCP requests. Past that, you pay per request.

The risk of an AI tool hallucinating a citation is small.
The cost of it happening in your literature review is not.
So researchers check. They should — reading the source is part of the job.
What's broken is everything around it: leaving the answer, tracking down the PDF, scanning for the passage that supposedly backs the claim.
On Tuesday, August 25th, we're launching Citation Grounding, our set of features that show you the evidence in every answer.
👉 Hover a citation in Consensus and you'll see the quote it came from.
💻 Click the quote and we'll open the paper to the exact place it lives, in its original context.
🔎 Open the Evidence tab and you'll see every quote pulled from that paper for your search.
Daniel 'Tuba' D'Souza, our Head of Growth, will cover how it works, why we built it, how our full-text partnerships make grounding possible, and live research workflows you can use the same day.
