    There are quite a few machine learning projects focused on automating this. No idea how effective in practice. E.g. India recently launched a massive academic paper archive specifically for this purpose.

  It's really weird that this has a name. Reading papers and deducing new knowledge is all theoretical physicsts do. The same goes for theoretical-anything-else.
