Results and history
Inspect your reading list, select what matters, and export it into your own research workflow.
Three independent histories
Search runs, analyses, and reviews are saved separately — each module in the sidebar shows its own history. Where history lives, how records are renamed, exported, or deleted, and what survives a reload: Workspace and history.
Read a paper card
Results can include titles, authors, years, venues, abstracts, source links, identifiers, citation information, and relevance explanations. Availability depends on the source.
Relevance measures the match to your question. It is not a study-quality score or permission to cite a paper without reading it.
Filter, sort, and select
Result controls search the returned set, apply available filters, and change the order. They do not issue a fresh external search.
Select individual papers for a smaller export or a review, and check the selected count before continuing. Select loaded applies only to the currently loaded papers. Review creation requires 2–100 selected papers. Switching modules preserves the selection during this session.
Export
| Format | Use |
|---|---|
| CSV | Spreadsheets and manual screening |
| JSON | Structured downstream processing |
| Selected CSV / JSON | Only the selected papers |
The Export menu groups complete and selected CSV/JSON downloads. A complete export covers the stored results, not just the visible page. Original-record links take you to the source; PaperSeek does not bulk-download paywalled text.
Review exports use Markdown, Word, and BibTeX.
Reopen history
Community history belongs to the local database. Online history belongs to your account. Signing in after an anonymous search does not backfill it.
A saved run retains its actual settings. Reopening it does not replace its model or budget with current defaults; older unrecorded fields remain unknown.
You can delete finished history items after exporting anything you need. Active tasks must end first.
Start a review
Select at least two papers with useful abstracts, or create a review through Reviews. Follow the outline and writing guide.
