For researchers and AI agents overwhelmed by fragmented scientific knowledge, SciAtlas provides a structured cognitive map that enables deep interdisciplinary reasoning and reduces logical hallucinations in automated research.

SciAtlas is a large-scale knowledge graph integrating 43M papers, 157M entities, and 3B triplets across 26 disciplines, enabling structured topological reasoning for automated scientific research. It achieves a transition from semantic matching to deterministic association discovery, reducing reasoning costs and supporting tasks like literature review and trend synthesis.

The exponential growth of global academic output has confronted researchers and AI agents with an unprecedented ``information explosion,'' where fragmented and unstructured knowledge organization impedes deep interdisciplinary integration. Current academic retrieval tools predominantly rely on superficial keyword matching or vector-space semantic retrieval, which lack the topological reasoning capabilities required to navigate complex logical connections. Agentic deep-research-based frameworks are often prone to logical hallucinations and consuming high inference costs. To bridge this gap, in this report, we introduce SciAtlas, a large-scale, multi-disciplinary, heterogeneous academic resource knowledge graph designed as a panoramic scientific evolution network. By integrating over 43M papers from 26 disciplines, and a total of 157M entities and 3B triplets, SciAtlas provides a structured topological cognitive substrate that dismantles disciplinary barriers and furnishes AI agents with a global perspective. Furthermore, we develop a neuro-symbolic retrieval algorithm featuring tri-path collaborative recall and graph reranking, achieving a seamless transition from simple semantic matching to deterministic association discovery. We also present key application directions of SciAtlas, including literature review, automated research trend synthesis, idea positioning, and academic trajectory exploration, to demonstrate that SciAtlas can serve as an effective ``cognitive map'' to empower the full loop of automated scientific research while significantly reducing reasoning costs. We have released the interfaces for KG retrieval and various downstream tasks in our GitHub repo.
