The Consensus product today searches across 200+ million academic papers, preprints, and conference proceedings. Our corpus spans every scientific discipline and journal imaginable.This comprehensive scope makes Consensus an incredible tool for academics, professionals, and clinicians conducting literature reviews, finding references, or exploring complex scientific questions.But comprehensiveness can sometimes come at a cost. When you need precision, especially in medicine, too much breadth can blur the signal. Clinicians often need insights drawn only from top medical journals and clinical guidelines — the gold standard of evidence.That’s why we’re introducing Medical Mode in Consensus.

Literature Reviews in Minutes. New discoveries are made at the edge of what’s already known. Every scientific breakthrough stands on a mountain of prior knowledge.

A New Way to Interact with ScienceThe best research happens when one question naturally leads to another, creating a continuous path of knowledge discovery. Yet for decades, traditional academic search tools have forced us into a disconnected cycle of searching, reading, and restarting.Today, we're changing that with the launch of Threads.Threads reimagines how you interact with peer-reviewed research by turning isolated searches into flowing conversations. Built on a foundation of over 200 million peer-reviewed papers, Consensus now helps you not just find answers, but unlock a deeper, more connected exploration of research.

Consensus Meter 2.0We launched the original Consensus Meter in 2023. The Meter allowed users to quickly understand the overall agreement or disagreement among the research for 'yes/no' questions. Immediately it became one of our flagship features, you can learn more here.Despite its popularity, the Consensus had a major flaw: it provided no additional context about the papers in it's overview. Every paper in the Consensus Meter counted the same regardless if it was an N=1 case report or a Cochrane Systematic Review. This is not how science is done.Today, we are excited to launch the next version of the Consensus Meter to address these issues. The new Consensus Meter adds additional nuance for each "position", providing detail about the methodology, the recency, the publishing journal and the impact of the papers. Click the table icon on the bottom of the Meter to see it in action!
