: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. |
