End-to-end workflows
Common research tasks that connect search, writing, illustration, and reading
About this section
The previous sections are organized by feature: they explain what research writing, search, and reading can do. But the tasks you have in mind usually span several features:
"I need to write a review" / "I need to track follow-up work on a key paper" / "I need a few mechanism diagrams for my article"
This section is organized by task. Each guide walks through an end-to-end workflow: which pages to use, in what order, and what to watch for.
Workflows covered
| Workflow | Features involved |
|---|---|
| From search to citation | Search → Add to a project in bulk → Citation annotation |
| Writing a literature review | Search → Project assets → Reference completion → Research writing |
| Creating paper illustrations | Illustration → Add to project assets → Insert into your writing |
| Cross-checking multiple data sources | Semantic Scholar / PubMed / Google Scholar / Full-text search |
Each workflow takes about 5–10 minutes to read. Browse one before starting a new research task.
From search to citation
Screen candidate papers, organize evidence, match citations to your text, and verify sources
Writing a literature review
Use projects to organize searches, PDF evidence, research sessions, and writing drafts
Creating paper illustrations
Organize scientific relationships, generate and revise illustrations, then save, vectorize, and export
Cross-checking sources
Choose sources, combine searches, and reduce the risk of missing key literature
