Six modules, one research workflow

Every module stands on its own. Together they run from reading the literature to publishing the result.

MODULE 01Available

Groups & Collaboration

The base layer

The base layer: a group's people, papers and discussion in one place.

  • Create groups, invite members, assign roles
  • Papers filed in folders and shared across the group
  • Read online, with highlights and annotations visible to everyone
  • Meeting notes, research plans, progress reports and conference tracking
MODULE 02Available

Reading Assistant

AI-assisted reading

Turns "finished one paper" into "got through a stack".

  • Fast overview and key-point extraction
  • Ask questions about the full text, answers anchored to the passage
  • Compare several papers side by side
  • Bilingual close reading with figures kept in place
MODULE 03Available

Literature & Citations

Search & referencing

Find it, cite it correctly, export it.

  • Search literature across sources by topic
  • Attach citations and references to a passage
  • Verify every citation, so nothing is misattributed
  • Export to EndNote / BibTeX / RIS
MODULE 04Available

Writing & Submission

Draft to revision

One path from first draft to revision letter.

  • Manuscript writing and language editing
  • Submission-grade figures
  • Pre-submission review — see the reviewer's questions early
  • Point-by-point reviewer responses
MODULE 05Contact us

Research Database

Structured group data

Turns scattered group data into a searchable, reusable asset.

  • Collects data automatically and normalises it into one format
  • Search by sample, batch, condition or metric
  • Literature, experimental records and results in one structured store
  • More capabilities in active development
MODULE 06Contact us

Analysis Pipelines

Reproducible analysis

Freezes the analysis you keep repeating into a reproducible pipeline.

  • Common analysis steps captured as reusable pipelines
  • Re-run the same data with new parameters and compare
  • Returns a first-pass conclusion with the literature behind it
  • More capabilities in active development
The group's annotations beside the paper

Read the same paper, see each other's thinking

Highlights and annotations are shared across the group. Skimming what everyone marked beats re-reading the paper before a meeting — and what you argued about afterwards stays next to the text instead of sinking into a chat log.

Not just papers — everything the group produces

Meeting notes, research plans, progress reports, reference links, figures — filed under the right group and folder. People graduate; the material stays with the group.

Real conferences; the call-for-papers status shown is illustrative — check each venue's own site.

Track the venues your group cares about

Keep a list of the conferences and journals your group follows, marked official or non-official, with status and a link to the site. Join the public lists to see what your peers are watching.

Field-agnostic by design

BettaFish holds no domain knowledge of its own — what it handles is how a group does research together.
