arXiv:2508.15851v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Despite rapid progress in large language models (LLMs), current QA benchmarks still overlook the core challenge of real-world scientific information seeking: synthesizing multimodal evidence scattered across multiple documents and structural formats. Existing QA benchmarks remain narrow in scope, relying on unimodal text and short-span reasoning that fail to capture the complexity of real information seeking. We introduce DocHop-QA, a benchmark of 11,379 instances for evaluating multimodal, multi-document, multi-hop scientific QA. Built from
