Turn saved sources into working collections

Organise papers by topic, method or project. Bring a collection into a research session, export it for a reference manager, or share an import link with a colleague.

A collection preserves the logic of selection

A group is more than a paper list. It records why the corpus exists: for a question, comparison, review section, or team task.

Organise sources by purpose

Create groups for a topic, method, hypothesis, project, course, or future section of a document.

Bring the whole corpus into context

Attach a selected group to the research session instead of selecting every paper again.

Share without losing structure

A colleague receives a link and imports a separate copy of the collection into their account.

One corpus, several next actions

Refine a collection as the research develops. When the corpus is ready, use it as a whole in chat, pass it by link, or export it to a reference manager.

  • Manage the collectionCreate, rename, and delete groups, then add or remove saved papers.
  • Use the group as sourcesAttach a complete collection to the current question or review in one action.
  • Export verifiable recordsDownload a group as BibTeX, EndNote, RefMan/RIS, or CSV.

Collections for individual and team research

Groups preserve the intent behind a corpus and make it portable.

Prepare a corpus for the task

Separate foundational from recent work, methods from results, or one project from another.

Continue without rebuilding context

Open the group in the workspace and use the full set as the basis for the next step.

Give a colleague a copy

The recipient imports the collection by link and continues in their own workspace.

Questions about Groups

Can I change the contents of a group?

Yes. Add or remove papers, rename a collection, or delete it when it is no longer needed.

How does a colleague link work?

The recipient signs in and imports a copy into their own account. It is not real-time co-editing of one shared folder.

Which export formats are available?

Groups can be exported as BibTeX, EndNote, RefMan/RIS, and CSV.

Keep the corpus together with its purpose

Collect papers for a real task and continue with the group as one research context.
