What LeapSpace is
LeapSpace is a web-based, AI-assisted research workspace for exploring scholarly literature and supporting research workflows. It supports complex interdisciplinary queries, follow-up questions, and revisiting earlier searches. Deep Research creates reports highlighting patterns, contradictions, and evidence gaps, and shows the steps used to produce each report. Writing Coach checks claims against recent research and helps identify gaps without editing text automatically. Trust Cards connect claims with their cited sources, while Claim Radar shows how claims hold up across the wider research landscape. The workspace draws on Scopus-indexed scholarly content, full-text articles and book chapters from Elsevier and participating publishers, and curated funding data. Users can upload up to five PDFs per conversation; Reading Assistant is limited to documents they are entitled to access. LeapSpace is intended for academic and industry researchers, librarians, academic leaders, and research office teams. A 14-day free trial is listed, followed by feature limits. Individual yearly pricing is £250 a year, and organization pricing is on request. Individual subscriptions do not include reading access to additional journal articles or books.
