Save evidence, find related papers and import into your projects
Projects can now keep saved passages and notes, suggest related papers from the citation graph, and import papers by arXiv id, DOI or a .bib/.ris file.
Projects do more of the work of a literature review in this release. Each project page gains three new sections: one for the evidence you collect, one for finding related papers, and one for bringing in papers you already have a list of.
- Save passages as you read. Highlight text in a paper and choose Save to project to keep that passage in one of your projects. The project page lists your saved passages under Evidence. A saved passage points into the paper rather than storing a copy, so it is always read from the paper itself, and if the paper's text changes so that the passage can no longer be found, the project tells you so you can save it again.
- Notes beside the evidence. Write notes in markdown on the project page, next to the passages they're about.
- Find related papers. Pick a paper in the project and see what it cites, or what cites it, with how many of those papers are already in the library or in the project. Tick the ones you want and add them in one go, or dismiss the ones that don't fit so they stop being suggested (you can restore them later). Citing papers are looked up on Semantic Scholar.
- Import papers. Paste arXiv ids or links, or DOIs, or upload a .bib or .ris export from Zotero, Mendeley or EndNote, and the papers are added to the project. Papers already in PaperVantage are added straight away and are always free; papers new to the library are fetched from arXiv, so a DOI is imported only if the paper has an arXiv version. A new paper's full text becomes readable once it has been processed, and the import list shows how far each one has got. New-to-library imports have a 30-day allowance: 100 papers for members and 10 on the free plan.
