Import by link or identifier

Import a link or paper identifier to keep the source in your library. Anara resolves available metadata and retrieves readable content when it can.

Import a source

1. Open Search, or press Cmd+K on Mac or Ctrl+K on Windows.
2. Paste a web URL, YouTube URL, DOI, or PMID.
3. Choose the import action offered for that input.
4. Wait for processing, then check the new item in your library.

For a DOI, paste the identifier or its https://doi.org/ link. For PubMed, a PubMed URL identifies the paper without ambiguity. You can also ask chat to find a paper and import the result after you review it.

Full text and paywalls

Available means readable content was extracted. Abstract only means Anara has the abstract but not the paper's body. Content unavailable means it could not obtain readable content.

Importing a DOI does not bypass a publisher's paywall. If you have institutional access, download the PDF yourself and upload it. Confirm that the imported record matches the title, authors, and year you intended.

Usage and failures

Imports draw on your usage allowance or credits. A URL that requires a login, has expired, or points to a navigation page may fail to provide the source. Try a direct paper or PDF link, or upload a local copy. For spoken content, see transcription.
