paper-qa is a Python tool that performs retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to answer questions from scientific documents. It pairs answers with citations back to the source documents.

Use it when you need accurate, citation-backed answers drawn from scientific papers rather than generic LLM responses.

Use it to

  • Answer questions over a corpus of scientific PDFs
  • Generate cited answers for literature review
  • Search scientific documents with RAG pipelines
  • Integrate citation-grounded QA into research workflows

For Researchers and developers building scientific document QA systems
