Empowering Researchers Everywhere
Subthesis was built to make research accessible, organized, and less overwhelming for students and academics at every stage of their journey.
Our Story
Subthesis started from a simple observation: research is hard, and the tools available to students often make it harder. Graduate students spend countless hours wrestling with literature reviews, struggling to formulate clear research questions, and navigating complex statistical decisions—often without adequate support.
We built Subthesis to change that. Every tool addresses a real challenge that researchers face, providing practical solutions that let you focus on what matters most: your research.
Problem Identified
Recognized that graduate students often lack access to practical, affordable research tools.
First Tools Built
Developed initial tools to address common pain points in the research workflow.
Platform Launch
Launched Subthesis as a free, comprehensive research platform for students everywhere.
Mission & Vision
Our Mission
To provide students and researchers with free, practical tools that simplify the research process. We believe that effective research support should be accessible to everyone, regardless of institutional resources or budget.
Our Vision
A world where every student has the tools they need to conduct rigorous, meaningful research. We envision Subthesis as a trusted companion throughout the research journey—from initial question to final publication.
Our Values
Accessibility
Research tools should be free and available to all students, not locked behind paywalls or institutional subscriptions.
Rigor
Every tool is designed with methodological best practices in mind, helping users produce work that meets academic standards.
Simplicity
Complex research processes deserve clear, intuitive interfaces. We focus on making tools that are easy to use without sacrificing depth.
Student-Centered
We build for students first. Our tools address the real challenges that graduate students and researchers face every day.
A Note from Our Founder
When I started my doctoral journey, I quickly realized how fragmented the research process can feel. There were tools for citations, others for statistics, and yet more for organizing literature—but nothing that brought it all together in a way that made sense for how students actually work.
I built Subthesis because I wanted to create the resource I wished I had. Every tool here was born from a real problem I encountered or heard about from fellow students.
My goal is simple: to help you spend less time wrestling with logistics and more time doing meaningful research. I hope these tools serve you well on your journey.
