Does Deep Research search the open web?
Its academic discovery layer uses the sources in the live registry. Any other web use depends on the active tools and task, and should not be confused with the academic source registry.
Research methodology
How Kosmico Deep Research works
Deep Research is a staged research workflow, not a single web search. It discovers papers from registered academic sources, expands and ranks evidence, tracks coverage, and produces artifacts with source records.
The live registry below states whether each source is used by default, selectable by the researcher, added adaptively, or restricted to a relevant domain.
Source coverage is a registry, not a slogan
A source count is meaningful only if it says which sources are visible, which are queried automatically, and which are used only for a specific domain. Kosmico publishes those modes from one registry shared with the product.
The pipeline separates discovery from synthesis
Candidate discovery, metadata normalization, deduplication, relevance ranking, citation expansion, evidence extraction, coverage assessment, and synthesis are distinct stages. That makes failures and gaps inspectable instead of hiding them inside one generated answer.
A real citation is not automatically supporting evidence
Citation-identity checks ask whether a reference resolves to the claimed paper and has coherent metadata. Claim-to-evidence validation asks a different question: whether the cited passage actually supports the sentence. Kosmico reports these as separate scopes.

Direct answers
How does it decide when to stop?
The published stopping conditions describe the current implementation. The benchmark will separately measure whether that stopping decision is well calibrated.
Does a verified DOI prove the related claim?
No. A DOI can establish citation identity. Supporting a claim requires a separate comparison between the claim and evidence in the source.
