Cite as you write

Write your paper in the note editor, and when you reach a claim that needs grounding, paste it into the chat and ask Anara to find the library passages that support it and insert the citations in place. Use it when the argument is yours and you want Anara for evidence support rather than text generation.

Prompt

A PhD student in environmental studies drafts a chapter on strategic environmental assessment against a library of 90 papers.

I have this note open for my chapter on SEA effectiveness in climate policy integration. I have just written this paragraph and I want to ground it in my library before moving on:

"Despite widespread adoption of SEA in national planning frameworks, the relationship between procedural compliance and actual integration of climate considerations into plans remains insufficiently explored. The gap between formal requirements and substantive outcomes reflects a broader tension in regulatory governance literature."

Search my library for passages that support the claim about the gap between procedural compliance and substantive outcomes. Return the most relevant passages with citations. Then insert citation badges for the two strongest matches at the end of the second sentence in my note.

What to add to your library

• Required: a note open in your workspace for the document you are drafting.
• Required: the sentence or paragraph you want to ground, pasted into the chat.
• Optional: the folder or set of papers to search. Without it, Anara searches your whole library.
• Optional: what kind of support you want: a paper that confirms the claim, one that provides its empirical basis, or one that frames the concept behind it.

What you get

• A list of matched passages, each with a clickable citation badge linking to the source document and page.
• Citation badges inserted into the note at the point you specify, for the passages you approve.

Follow-ups

Get a verdict before you commit to a citation.

Before inserting the citation, tell me whether the Morrison et al. passage actually backs up my claim about procedural compliance or is only tangentially related. Quote it and explain why.

Check a whole paragraph at once.

Here is the full paragraph I just drafted. Search my library for passages that support each claim in it. Group the citations by claim and tell me which claims are well supported, which are only partially supported, and which have no support in my library.

Tips

• Paste the sentence rather than describing it. Anara searches on the wording of the claim.
• Name the insertion point precisely. "After the second sentence in paragraph three" is more reliable than "somewhere in the paragraph."
• Read each linked passage before submitting. A match in a different regulatory context does not support your claim.
