Your day to day

We take the tedious part

The repetitive chores of research happen inside the workflow, and your time goes back to reading, thinking and writing.

  • Without BWL Research: Searching database after database and copying everything by hand

    With BWL Research: One search from several angles across the open OpenAlex catalogue, with a reason for every suggestion

  • Without BWL Research: Finding out late that a reference doesn't exist, or was made up by an AI

    With BWL Research: Every reference is checked in OpenAlex, Crossref, Semantic Scholar, arXiv and PubMed; an unverified one stays out of the paper

  • Without BWL Research: Reopening the PDF to find the page of a quote

    With BWL Research: Every citation keeps its type, page and passage

  • Without BWL Research: Scattered spreadsheets and statistics nobody can reproduce

    With BWL Research: Statistics run by registered code, with tables ready for the paper

  • Without BWL Research: Fighting the journal template at the last minute

    With BWL Research: The draft starts in the venue's format and exports to LaTeX

    With BWL Research: An AI-usage report ready for your submission

How it works

Four steps from question to submission

  1. Tell us your question

    A short interview records your question, hypotheses and methods, and warns you if the question is too broad.

  2. Read only what matters

    Every suggestion arrives with its reason and its reference checked. You triage into accept, maybe or reject.

  3. Build the argument

    Keep citations with their page, note ideas and hypotheses, and connect everything in the argument graph that becomes your outline.

  4. Write and submit

    The draft opens in the venue's format, goes through consistency and English review, and exports to LaTeX or Markdown.

A look inside

Your whole project in one place

References being checked, the argument as a graph and citations with their pages, side by side in the same project. Every claim leads back to its source.

Features

Everything a research project needs, connected

Literature, citations, ideas, data, experiments and writing in one place. Every claim in your paper leads back to its sources, and every result leads back to the data and code that produced it.

Literature

Context interview

Tell the platform your question, aims, hypotheses and methods. It warns you when the question is too broad before you start reading.

Search from several angles

Searches start from the topic, the method, your hypotheses and the seminal work, using the domain's keywords and search archetypes.

Ranked with a readable reason

Every suggestion says why it is there, such as “addresses hypothesis H2” or “uses the method you declared”. The ranking learns from your decisions.

Verified in open databases

OpenAlex, Crossref, Semantic Scholar, arXiv and PubMed. Anything that cannot be confirmed is flagged as unverified and stays out of the paper.

Snowballing and coverage

Follow the references and citations of accepted papers, and see on the coverage map which areas are still thinly read.

Import and export your library

Bring BibTeX, RIS or CSV from the reference manager you already use, triage into accept, maybe and reject, and export as RIS or BibTeX.

Citations & ideas

Citations that never get lost

Every citation needs a type and a page. Quotes and paraphrases are kept apart from the moment you read, and a correction creates a new version instead of erasing the old one.

Typed idea blocks

Hypotheses, arguments, counter-arguments, questions and gaps, each linked to the citations that support or challenge it.

Hypothesis lifecycle

Proposed, under investigation, supported, refuted or reformulated. The status follows the evidence and your experiment results.

Evidence & reproducibility

Assessments with design and metrics

Record the hypothesis under test, the design, the metrics and the data of each experiment, and import results from CSV or spreadsheets.

Statistics only from registered code

Tests, confidence intervals, effect sizes and multiple-comparison corrections, computed in an isolated, reproducible sandbox.

Test choice and validity

An assistant helps you pick the right test, and checks warn you about a missing baseline or unreported variance.

Tables and figures with provenance

Produced in the publisher's standard, always traceable to the run, the data and the code that generated them.

Pre-registration with timestamp and hash

Register the hypothesis and the analysis plan before the results, with a timestamp and hash that prove what was decided first.

Datasets and repositories

Source, version, licence and sensitivity of every dataset, with a datasheet and lineage, and the exact commit behind each experiment, verified on GitHub or GitLab.

Proprietary agent

An agent grounded on your lab's knowledge base that cites its sources, is versioned and is evaluated like any other experiment.

Writing & review

Paper graph

Thesis, hypotheses, arguments, evidence and results linked by relations such as “supports” and “contradicts”, laid out across sections in an outline ready to write.

Snapshots and structural check

Compare versions of the argument and spot claims without evidence, unused evidence and contributions without a result.

Drafts in the publisher's format

Each section opens next to the citations, ideas and results it needs. NeurIPS ships ready; IEEE, ACM, APA and ABNT are available as lab skills.

Consistency review

Claims without citations, contradictions, unreferenced figures, and an abstract that promises more than the paper delivers.

English proofreading

Suggestions that keep your voice, accepted or declined one by one.

Reviews and rebuttal

Log reviewer reports and prepare your response, the camera-ready version and the submission package.

Your project

Next step and checkpoints

Each project knows its phase, suggests the next step and warns you, without blocking, when something important is missing.

Publication plan

One project, several papers: each publication has its own slice of the graph, its venue and its deadlines, and the plan changes as the research does.

Co-authors and advisors

Members per project, comments on the draft and versions you can compare.

Security

Two-step verification

TOTP with recovery codes, progressive login lockout and session revocation.

Your data, isolated

Each lab only sees its own data. Sensitive datasets stay in the storage your lab defines; the platform keeps metadata only.

Versions and audit trail

Every piece of content is versioned and audited: who changed what, and when.

Export without lock-in

LaTeX and Markdown for the paper, BibTeX and RIS for the bibliography, and the AI-usage report for the publisher.

.tex .md .bib .ris

In Portuguese and English

The whole interface speaks Portuguese and English, and everyone picks their own language.

Português English

For those who run the lab

Set up once by the lab's coordination and inherited by every project in the lab.

Guidelines and research lines

Versioned guidelines, research lines, funded projects and your lab's skills catalogue.

Research standards

Scientific base, target publishers with their format rules, and statistical validation criteria that every project inherits.

Domains and search archetypes

Domains with inclusion criteria, keywords and synonyms, search archetypes, macro projects and a knowledge base for each domain.

Lab library

A library shared across projects, from which each researcher brings references into their own work.

Metrics and live flow

Quality indicators per project, such as verified references and claims with evidence, and a live map of how the lab uses the platform.

Research to product

Results, applications and agents can become candidates for a product, a licence or a spin-off.

AI with authorship

AI proposes. You decide.

The platform uses AI to search, organise, verify and review, never to take over authorship. Every suggestion arrives as a proposal you accept or decline item by item, and every call is logged.

Item-by-item approval

Suggested ideas, graph links, edits and corrections arrive as proposals. Nothing in your work changes until you accept it.

Text only when you ask

Paper sections open empty. The AI only drafts text when you explicitly ask for it, with a notice every session.

AI-usage report

Every AI call is logged and can be exported as an AI-usage report to declare to your publisher.

FAQ

Common questions

I'm researching on my own. Can I use it?

Yes. When you sign up you create your own workspace, which the platform calls a lab. You can invite your advisor and colleagues whenever you like, and the free plan is enough to get started.

What is BWL Research?

A research platform that follows your project from the first question to publication: literature, citations, ideas, data, experiments and writing, all connected and traceable.

Does the AI write my paper?

No. Paper sections open empty and the AI only drafts text when you explicitly ask for it. Suggested ideas, links, edits and corrections arrive as proposals you accept or decline item by item.

How are references checked?

Every reference is checked against open databases: OpenAlex, Crossref, Semantic Scholar, arXiv and PubMed. A reference that cannot be confirmed is flagged as unverified and stays out of the paper.

Can I bring my Zotero or Mendeley library?

Yes, as a file: export your library as BibTeX, RIS or CSV and import it into a project or into the lab library. Accepted references can also be exported as RIS or BibTeX.

How are statistics computed?

By registered code running in an isolated, reproducible sandbox, never by a language model. Every table and figure leads back to the run, the data and the code that produced it, and you can pre-register the hypothesis and analysis plan with a timestamp and hash.

Which journal formats are supported?

Drafts open in the NeurIPS format, and IEEE, ACM, APA and ABNT can be installed as lab skills. Papers export to LaTeX or Markdown, and the bibliography to BibTeX or RIS.

How do I declare AI use to the journal?

Every AI call is logged together with your acceptance or rejection. That log can be exported as an AI-usage report to accompany your submission.

Is my data protected?

Each lab is isolated from the others, sign-in has two-step verification, and every piece of content is versioned and audited. Datasets marked as sensitive stay in the storage your lab defines; the platform keeps metadata only.

Does it work for teams?

Yes. Invite members with lab roles, add people to each project, and get comments from co-authors and your advisor on the draft.

Is the interface available in Portuguese?

Yes, in Portuguese and English. Everyone picks their own language.

How much does it cost?

There is a free plan to try the platform on a real project, and paid plans for researchers, labs and institutions. Current prices are in the pricing section.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period and your lab returns to the free plan without losing any data. Above a plan's limits you only cannot add more of that resource.
