:sunglasses: Awesome AI Auto-Research

This repository accompanies the survey paper "AI for Auto-Research: Roadmap & User Guide" and tracks papers on AI-assisted and automated scientific research, covering the full research lifecycle.

:robot: AI Auto-Research

We organize the academic research lifecycle as eight interconnected stages grouped into four epistemological phases. Each phase serves a distinct function in producing, scrutinizing, and communicating scientific knowledge.

Phase 1: Creation
Generating novel research ideas, searching and synthesizing literature, running coding experiments, and creating publication-quality tables and figures. This phase spans Idea Generation, Literature Review, Coding & Experiments, and Tables & Figures.
Phase 2: Writing
Drafting, editing, and polishing academic manuscripts. AI assistance ranges from semi-automated grammar and citation tools to fully automated paper generation — the most commercially mature yet ethically contested stage.
Phase 3: Validation
Automated peer review generation, reviewer-paper matching, review quality assessment, and AI-assisted author rebuttals. This phase covers Peer Review and Rebuttal & Revision.
Phase 4: Dissemination
Converting papers into slides, posters, videos, websites, and social media content. Each output format targets a different audience and demands its own design logic and AI tool chain.

For additional details, kindly refer to our :books: Paper and :earth_asia: Project Page.

:sunglasses: Awesome AI Auto-Research

This repository accompanies the survey paper "AI for Auto-Research: Roadmap & User Guide" and tracks papers on AI-assisted and automated scientific research, covering the full research lifecycle.

:robot: AI Auto-Research

We organize the academic research lifecycle as eight interconnected stages grouped into four epistemological phases. Each phase serves a distinct function in producing, scrutinizing, and communicating scientific knowledge.

Phase 1: Creation
Generating novel research ideas, searching and synthesizing literature, running coding experiments, and creating publication-quality tables and figures. This phase spans Idea Generation, Literature Review, Coding & Experiments, and Tables & Figures.
Phase 2: Writing
Drafting, editing, and polishing academic manuscripts. AI assistance ranges from semi-automated grammar and citation tools to fully automated paper generation — the most commercially mature yet ethically contested stage.
Phase 3: Validation
Automated peer review generation, reviewer-paper matching, review quality assessment, and AI-assisted author rebuttals. This phase covers Peer Review and Rebuttal & Revision.
Phase 4: Dissemination
Converting papers into slides, posters, videos, websites, and social media content. Each output format targets a different audience and demands its own design logic and AI tool chain.

For additional details, kindly refer to our :books: Paper and :earth_asia: Project Page.
