Find papers and manage citations

Search Crossref, Semantic Scholar, arXiv and PubMed at once; import Zotero; export citations.

Step 1: Open a project and choose Library

From LearnSpace → My Research, click a project, then the Library tab.

Step 2: Click "Find papers"

One search queries four scholarly databases at once. Duplicates across them are merged, so a paper appears once. The results show which databases answered.

Step 3: Save what is useful

Click Save on a result. Papers with a legal open-access PDF are marked "open access".

Step 4: Or add a paper directly

Use "Add / import" to paste a DOI, arXiv id or link, upload a .bib or .ris file from Zotero, Mendeley or EndNote, or type in a book or interview by hand.

Step 5: Copy a citation

Click Cite on any paper for APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE or Vancouver. Always check the result against your institution’s style guide.

Step 6: Export the whole library

BibTeX, RIS or CSL-JSON. The BibTeX file opens straight in Zotero, so your work is never locked in here.
