LibKey Is Now Integrated With Moara's AI Research Tools

Third Iron's LibKey can now be used by moara.io institutional users to incorporate full-text articles from academic journals.

ST. PAUL, Minn. and ARLINGTON, Va., May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Third Iron, LLC and Moara, LLC today announced a new integration of LibKey within the moara.io tool. moara.io is an AI-powered research platform that enables scholars to intelligently search millions of academic papers, automatically extract key insights, build project-focused databases, and to produce and refine long-form reviews. Third Iron's LibKey service provides fast, reliable and informed access to library subscribed papers and Open Access full text content. Together they are solving a critical challenge in the field of AI for research: enabling users to seamlessly incorporate full-text articles into their workflows.

With LibKey, users of moara.io with relevant journal subscriptions can – in one click – access full-text peer-reviewed articles to be added to their literature reviews. moara.io's interface will ultimately allow researchers to interact with these papers, organize them in a structured table format, record findings, and, where appropriate, perform systematic reviews. Thanks to LibKey, moara.io users can also be notified if articles they are viewing have been retracted, labeled with an expression of concern, or cite retracted articles.

The decision to integrate the two services reflects a mutual focus on improving speed and reliability. The commitment of Third Iron and Moara to ongoing collaboration also reflects a clear need from the library, publisher, and researcher community to explore and acquire AI research tools with more robust features – including security, privacy, accessibility, and resource integration standards consistent with the industry's current technologies.

"moara.io is building a radically better way for researchers to organize their literature reviews, namely by pulling out key metadata fields from papers, and making them more interactive and structured," said John Seguin, President and co-founder of Third Iron. "By integrating LibKey into the moara.io platform, we help researchers save time and access the full text of articles they need, without any barriers."

John Frechette, co-founder and CEO of moara.io, said "integrating a powerful tool like LibKey perfectly reflects our product strategy. moara.io is not purely, or even primarily, a search or discovery assistant. It is a research assistant, and integrating with the existing workflows and applications of professional researchers – librarians, professors, R&D professionals, and others – is critical to achieving that vision."

The LibKey integration is now live and available to moara.io users affiliated with participating libraries.
