About SciRah
Find your path through research
Rah means “path”. SciRah is a free research-discovery platform built for students and researchers in Pakistan: it brings the world’s open scholarly data into one place and explains it in plain language.
One search, six databases
OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, Crossref, CORE, arXiv and PubMed are searched together and duplicates merged.
Explained in your language
AI summaries of papers in English, Urdu, Hindi, Arabic, Chinese, French and Spanish — with a voice-over.
Read without leaving
Open-access papers open inside SciRah. SciRah never hosts or stores papers; it shows them from their official sources.
Pakistan’s research, visible
Maps, leading universities, top researchers and research news from Pakistan, side by side with the world.
Credible researcher numbers
Citations and h-index are cross-checked across databases, and verified researchers can correct their own profile.
Made for sharing
Share papers on WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Facebook or WeChat, and export them to PDF, Word or a one-slide summary.
For researchers
Find your profile under Authors, verify it with your university email, and you can correct your numbers, remove papers that aren’t yours and add your patents and graduated students. You can also add a paper that SciRah doesn’t list yet.
