Science42: DORA

What it does

Science42: DORA (Draft Outline Research Assistant) takes a research subject, a template choice, and optionally an existing write-up or custom data, and produces a drafted scientific document such as an article, literature review, perspective summary, or case report. It also builds a bibliography tailored to the topic from a curated database of tens of millions of scientific texts.

Users start from a template that outlines the document structure, then generate and edit the draft inside DORA while running literature searches in real time. A memory system keeps ideas and conclusions aligned across the whole document, and the tool integrates with PubMed and uses retrieval-augmented generation to build queries and source citations.

DORA suits researchers and academic writers who want a structured first draft with references. It is offered only as a desktop version, with no mobile version. Some templates specialize in biomedical topics, and custom templates can be developed with the vendor. Users should still check generated citations and content themselves before relying on a draft.

What it can do

• Generate scientific articles, literature reviews, perspective summaries, and case reports from scratch or from an existing write-up
• Create a topic-tailored bibliography list as the draft is written
• Edit documents directly and run literature searches in real time
• Insert citations drawn from a database of tens of millions of scientific texts
