Bohrium

Bohrium is an AI-powered research platform designed to streamline literature reviews for global scientists. It taps into over 160 million academic papers, journals, and patents, using advanced models like DeepSeek R1 to deliver precise, citation-backed answers. Researchers can input natural language queries, and the platform returns curated results with summaries, methodologies, and clickable references. Features like DeepThink R1 enhance analysis, while multimodal Q&A integrates text and interactive diagrams for clarity. The platform supports exports to CSV, Markdown, and LaTeX, making it compatible with tools like Zotero and Jupyter.

Compared to SciSpace and Elicit, Bohrium offers a larger database and smoother interface. SciSpace excels at quick summaries but lacks depth, while Elicit’s functionality can feel less intuitive. Bohrium’s free tier includes 1500 credits, sufficient for basic use, with premium plans unlocking advanced features like paper comparison and scholar profiles. Pricing is competitive, though premium tiers are costlier than some alternatives. The interface may feel busy during heavy use, and JavaScript reliance can pose issues on restricted networks. A standout feature is the ability to chat with papers, extracting specific insights in seconds.

Researchers should begin with the free tier, test simple queries, and explore integrations with existing tools to maximize value.
