About us

Built for researchers. Driven by purpose.

We believe research teams deserve tools built specifically for how they work — not generic project managers retrofitted for academia. That’s why we built ScholarDock from the ground up for researchers.

Company

Built by researchers, for researchers.

We started ScholarDock after watching research teams struggle with scattered references, siloed project notes, and collaboration chaos on multi-author papers. From day one, our focus has been building a single workspace that covers the entire research lifecycle.

Today, thousands of research teams — from individual PhD candidates to large institutional labs — rely on ScholarDock to stay organized, move faster, and produce better research.

Great research shouldn't be slowed down by bad tools.

Values

Principles that shape how we build for researchers

We don’t just ship features — we think deeply about the research experience. These six values guide how we think, build, and support our users.

Research-first design

Every feature is designed around how researchers actually work — not how generic software assumes they do.

Speed matters in research

When you’re deep in a literature review or facing a submission deadline, slow tools cost you more than time.

Reliability you can count on

Consistent, reliable tools let researchers focus on their work — not on troubleshooting their software.

Researchers over roadmaps

We talk to PIs, postdocs, PhD students, and lab managers constantly. We only build what genuinely helps them.

Real support from people who understand research

Our support team understands academic workflows and research processes — not just software tickets.

Always improving

Academic research evolves, and so does ScholarDock. We ship updates based on researcher feedback every month.

Testimonials

Trusted by research teams worldwide

We build with feedback from principal investigators, PhD candidates, and lab managers. Their research success is what drives us forward.

“ScholarDock transformed how our lab manages literature. We can finally see all our references, project notes, and team tasks in one place — our literature reviews now take half the time.”
“Before ScholarDock, our reference library was scattered across Zotero, Google Drive, and email threads. Now everything is centralized and our whole team can annotate and build on the same sources.”
“Managing a multi-author paper across three institutions used to be chaotic. ScholarDock gave us a shared workspace where everyone can see the project status, assigned tasks, and source list in real time.”
