MANAGE & ORGANIZE

Keep your research in good order.

Give every reference a place with folders, labels, and smart folders. Find the paper you need and keep its details together.

Get started See your library

Papers with coral, green, and blue markers connect to three matching project folders: Methods, Lab notes, and Literature review

01 REFERENCE TYPES

A place for every kind of source.

Keep articles, books, chapters, preprints, theses, and web pages together. Choose the reference type and add a subtype when you need more detail.

Article · Review · News article · Conference paper · Book · Book chapter · Thesis · Preprint · Website · Other

02 FOLDERS & LABELS

Organize it your way.

Use folders for projects and colored labels for topics or reading status. A paper can belong in more than one place.

Folders for your projects

Select papers and add them to a folder. Use subfolders for a more detailed structure.

SMART FOLDERS

Folders that fill themselves.

Choose a rule, such as a label or year. A smart folder automatically gathers matching papers as your library grows.

For example: gather every paper labeled To read in one folder.

03 LIBRARY SEARCH

Find a reference in your library.

Search by title, author, journal, or year. Use folders, labels, and filters to narrow the results.

Try title:CRISPR year:2014 to find CRISPR papers from 2014.

04 REFERENCE DETAILS

Keep your reference details right.

Review a reference, fill in missing information, and check the citation preview before saving.

Fill in missing details

Use Auto Update on one reference or a selection to look up missing metadata.

Review and format titles

Edit a title, fix its casing, and check the authors, journal, and publication details in one editor.

Keep repeat imports tidy

Matching references are merged during import, keeping repeat imports from cluttering your library.
