Literature synthesis that cites every source.
Cross-study synthesis is manual and error-prone. Pre-publication data requires strict access control. TARA runs on your infrastructure so research data stays sovereign and every claim traces to its source.
The problem
Literature reviews are a bottleneck in every research workflow. Manually reading and cross-referencing hundreds of papers to identify relevant findings delays the work that matters.
Synthesizing findings across studies requires tracing every claim to its source. When synthesis is manual, attribution gaps emerge and reproducibility suffers.
Pre-publication research data, unpublished manuscripts, and grant applications contain sensitive intellectual property. Sending this data to third-party AI services puts priority and IP claims at risk.
Why TARA
Sovereign
TARA runs inside your institutional infrastructure. Pre-publication data, grant applications, and unpublished manuscripts never leave your network. No third-party data processors, no external API calls.
Verifiable
Every synthesized finding cites the source paper, section, and passage. Researchers trace every claim back to its origin — the same citation discipline the work demands, enforced by the tool.
Integrated
OIDC SSO maps to your institutional identity provider. Team buckets with RBAC align with lab-level or project-level access boundaries. The admin dashboard provides access logs for institutional compliance review.
Use cases
Literature Synthesis Across Papers
Ingest published papers and preprints. Query across the corpus in natural language and receive synthesized findings with citations tracing every claim to its source.
Experimental Protocol Search
Search across lab protocols, methodology documents, and standard operating procedures. Find relevant methods with cited references to the originating study or protocol.
Grant Writing Grounded in Prior Work
Draft grant narratives grounded in your research group's published and unpublished work. Every factual claim cites its source, accelerating the writing process without sacrificing rigor.
Designed for research data sovereignty
TARA's self-hosted architecture is designed to support data sovereignty requirements for pre-publication research and institutional review board obligations. No research data leaves your network. Per-lab team buckets with RBAC enforce access boundaries. Audit logs provide the access records your research compliance office requires.
