Reference Resources
Curated lists, awesome-repos, and initiatives that support AI-in-research workflows — starting points, not end-products.
HOW TO USE THESE RESEARCH RESOURCES
Start with a curated list or learning resource to map a research area, then follow its original project links. Check who maintains the resource, when it was updated, and whether its coverage matches your discipline.
A reference resource helps you discover methods and software; inclusion in a list is not evidence that a tool works for your study. For software that performs a specific task, browse LLM as Tool.
Listed alphabetically by intended research role. A level is not a quality score or a verified capability rating; benchmark entries describe evaluation resources for that role.

WHAT DO THE LEVELS MEAN?
- L0 · Reference — Reference Resources: Curated lists, awesome-repos, and initiatives that support AI-in-research workflows — starting points, not end-products.
- L1 · Tool — LLM as Tool: AI tools that augment a single researcher task — literature search, writing, reviewing, figure generation, content transformation.
- L2 · Analyst — LLM as Analyst: Research agents with stronger analysis, modeling, and experiment-execution abilities — they plan and reason across steps.
- L3 · Scientist — LLM as Scientist: Systems intended to connect hypothesis generation, experiments, analysis, and paper drafting. Their autonomy and evidence vary by project and research domain.
