The RRM Research Library Just Got Better

The RRM Research Library Just Got Better

Brian Whittaker

When we launched the Research Library last year, it was a starting point. A browsable collection of papers related to restorative reproductive medicine. Useful, but basic.

Since then we have been doing the unglamorous work of making it actually reliable. Every record enriched with real metadata. Every citation built correctly. Every paper verified against its source.

3,000+ Papers, All Enriched

The library now holds over 3,000 curated records. Every one has been run through a multi-source enrichment pipeline pulling data from PubMed, CrossRef, OpenAlex, and other academic databases. That means complete metadata on every record: title, authors, journal, volume, issue, pages, publication date, DOI, abstract, keywords, MeSH terms, and direct links to the source.

Every paper also has citations in APA 7th, Vancouver, and MLA 9th, ready to copy. If you have ever spent 20 minutes tracking down a volume number to finish a reference list, that work is done.

191 New Papers from Core RRM Researchers

We went through the publication histories of 10 researchers central to RRM: Hilgers, Stanford, Prior, Fehring, Vigil, Yeung, Schliep, Duane, Manhart, and Billings. That search turned up 191 papers that were not already in the library.

Every paper was reviewed for relevance before it went in. NaProTECHNOLOGY, cervical mucus observation, fertility awareness effectiveness, luteal phase support, endometriosis excision.

83 NaProTECHNOLOGY Textbook Chapters

All 83 chapters from Dr. Hilgers' The Medical and Surgical Practice of NaProTECHNOLOGY are now individually citable records in the library. Each chapter has been classified for topic, study design, and relevance. If you need to cite a specific chapter in a paper, a case presentation, or a patient handout, the citation is ready. And if you want the textbook itself, it is enormous, but we link to that too.

What You Can Do Right Now

Search. Full-text search across every title, author, abstract, and topic. Runs entirely in your browser. No server round-trips, no ads, no tracking. Results in under 50 milliseconds.

Save and export. Bookmark articles to a personal saved list that persists across sessions. No account required. Export any article as an RIS file for Zotero, Mendeley, or any reference manager, or export your entire saved collection as a batch. Zotero Connector users: we embed COinS metadata on every article card, so you can capture articles directly from search results.

One-click citations. APA 7th, Vancouver, and MLA 9th on every article. Copy with one click.

Open access indicators. Green lock means open access. Amber means free to read. Gray means restricted. You know before you click whether you can read it.

Related articles. Each article page shows four related papers ranked by topic overlap, shared search terms, and journal match. It surfaces connections you would not find with a keyword search alone.

Dark mode. Full dark theme with an e-ink reading filter for long sessions.

Quality You Can Trust

Every record with a PubMed ID or DOI has been verified against its original source. We checked titles, authors, journals, dates, and page numbers across 2,775 records. Zero discrepancies.

We also cleaned up 2,500+ titles with PubMed formatting artifacts, standardized 2,100+ journal names against the NLM MEDLINE list, and resolved 6,000+ author names from initials to full names using ORCID and OpenAlex.

When you cite something from this library, the citation is right.

Automated Source Monitoring

The library monitors 22 publication sources automatically. New papers from key RRM journals, core researchers, and targeted PubMed searches are flagged and queued for review. When something relevant gets published, we know about it.

What Is Coming Next

AI Classification (Coming Soon)

We built an AI classification system for RRM research and ran it across every record. Each paper now carries four dimensions:

  • RRM Relevance (1-5 tier, from foundational RRM research to peripherally related)
  • Evidence Weight (study design strength)
  • Domain (clinical, basic science, epidemiology, or education)
  • Sentiment (supportive, neutral, or critical of RRM approaches)

This data already powers search relevance behind the scenes. The classifications themselves are not yet visible on the site, but the data is complete. Filtering by relevance tier, evidence strength, and study type is coming.

We also built a methodology classifier that tags each paper by study design (RCT, cohort, case series, systematic review, etc.) and evidence level.

Study Design Filtering

Once the classification data is surfaced, you will be able to filter by methodology, evidence level, and relevance tier. Looking for only systematic reviews on endometriosis excision outcomes? That query will be possible.

AI-Assisted Search

Semantic search that lets you ask questions in plain language. "What evidence supports letrozole over clomiphene for ovulation induction?" Get relevant papers back with context.

AI-Generated Commentaries

Expert-informed summaries that explain what a paper found, why it matters for RRM practice, and how it fits into the broader evidence base. Written for clinicians, educators, and patients. Not a replacement for reading the paper. A reason to read it.

Research Intelligence

A classified database of 3,100+ papers is more than a bibliography. It is a dataset. We are exploring what becomes possible when you can query the evidence base as a whole:

  • Gap analysis. Which conditions have strong RRM evidence and which have only case reports?
  • Evidence maps. Research density by topic, condition, and study design.
  • Curated reading lists. Auto-generated syllabi for RRM training, fellowship prep, or patient education.
  • Trend tracking. Which topics are attracting more study?
  • Systematic review scoping. Use the classified library as a head start for formal reviews.

Reference Cross-Linking

See which papers in the library cite each other. Follow research threads across studies without leaving the library.
