Academic Hub – AI‑Powered Research Collaboration Platform

Academic Hub is a full‑stack web service that empowers researchers to author, verify, and share scholarly work with the assistance of modern AI. By integrating a Gemini‑based natural language model, the platform transforms a typical manuscript workflow into an interactive, guided experience: authors receive real‑time suggestions for each section of a paper, automatically generated citations, and instant plagiarism checks. The result is a streamlined process that reduces the time from idea to publication while maintaining rigorous academic standards.

The server exposes an MCP interface that offers several key capabilities for AI assistants. First, the Paper Builder tool presents a structured, step‑by‑step template—introduction, methodology, results, discussion, etc.—and exposes a content generation API that returns draft prose tailored to the user’s research domain. Second, the Plagiarism Detector is an on‑demand service that scans any text segment for similarity against a large corpus, returning a score, severity classification, and matched sources. Third, the platform’s Community API allows developers to query user profiles, track paper metrics (views, downloads, citations), and reward engagement with a token‑based economy. These endpoints can be invoked from any MCP‑compatible AI client, enabling custom workflows such as “auto‑generate a literature review and flag potential plagiarism before submission.”

Real‑world use cases abound. A graduate student can ask an AI assistant to draft a methods section, then immediately run the text through the plagiarism detector; the assistant can refine the language to lower similarity scores. A research group can publish a paper through Academic Hub, share it on the community board, and receive coin rewards when peers cite or download their work—creating a tangible incentive for open scholarship. Publishers and conference chairs can integrate the platform’s export capabilities to produce PDF, DOCX, or LaTeX files directly from the web interface, ensuring consistency and compliance with submission guidelines.

Integration into AI workflows is straightforward: developers can call the MCP endpoints from their assistants, embed the paper builder as a conversational tool, or trigger plagiarism checks as part of an automated review pipeline. The platform’s modular design—Next.js for the front end, TypeScript for type safety, Tailwind CSS for rapid UI development—ensures that the server can be extended with new tools or data sources without disrupting existing clients. Moreover, Academic Hub’s token‑based reward system and impact metrics provide a unique value proposition that encourages collaboration and transparency in scholarly publishing.
