Papers

Papers is a tool for managing references, helping users find, access, organize, read, cite, and share research papers. It is primarily aimed at students, academics, and corporate users, with its services used by academic institutions worldwide.

With an easy-to-use interface, it lets users import data from various sources, like desktops, databases, and journals, while also simplifying metadata matching and collection management.

Besides helping to manage existing research, Papers assists in finding new research. It links users to a large, searchable database of articles and offers AI-supported recommendations.

Importantly, it provides insights into an article's influence using linked citations, Altmetrics, and Retraction Watch. It also lets users add annotations and notes to articles for thorough analysis.

The AI assistant in Papers enables deeper engagement with research. It employs AI tools to reveal connections within and between articles, allowing users to engage with their literature through a 'Chat with a PDF' feature and improve understanding of unfamiliar subjects or languages.

Papers also supports collaborative research with real-time collaboration and syncing across devices. It features private shared libraries and collaborative team creation for up to 25 users.

In addition, it offers a citation engine, SmartCite, for simple citation and custom bibliography generation. In short, Papers is a comprehensive solution for managing references, significantly enhancing how users manage academic and research literature.
