# Paper Circle: Papers Database

Paper Circle is an open-source multi-agent research discovery and analysis system designed to reduce the effort required to find, assess, organize, and understand academic literature. This repository contains the underlying papers database used by the framework's discovery and analysis pipelines.

- **Project Page:** [https://papercircle.vercel.app/](https://papercircle.vercel.app/)
- **Repository:** [https://github.com/MAXNORM8650/papercircle](https://github.com/MAXNORM8650/papercircle)

## System Overview

The Paper Circle system comprises two complementary pipelines:
1. **Discovery Pipeline:** Integrates offline and online retrieval from multiple sources (arXiv, Scopus, IEEE), featuring multi-criteria scoring and diversity-aware ranking.
2. **Analysis Pipeline:** Transforms individual papers into structured knowledge graphs with typed nodes (concepts, methods, experiments, figures) to enable graph-aware question answering and coverage verification.

Both pipelines are implemented within a coder LLM-based multi-agent orchestration framework and produce fully reproducible, synchronized outputs.
