Find papers on a topic

Describe the topic you are building a bibliography for and Anara searches a 240-million-paper academic index, returns real papers with verified DOIs, and proposes a set for you to approve and import. Use it when starting a new project or filling gaps in an existing library.

Prompt

A master's student in public health builds a working bibliography on salt reduction policy before a proposal meeting.

I am starting a literature review on dietary salt reduction policies in low-income and middle-income countries. I need peer-reviewed papers covering: (1) population-level sodium reduction interventions, (2) industry reformulation agreements, and (3) health outcome data from published trials or national programs. Focus on papers from the last ten years. Search PubMed and the general academic index. Return up to 20 papers sorted by relevance, with a one-sentence summary of what each one covers.

What to add to your library

• Required: nothing to upload. The prompt carries it.
• Optional: key authors or research groups you already know are relevant, which Anara prioritizes.
• Optional: journals or databases to include or exclude, and a date range if you want only recent work or only foundational older work.

What you get

• A ranked list of real papers with title, authors, year, DOI, and a brief relevance note.
• A flag on the papers with PDFs confirmed available, so you know which you can import directly.
• The papers you select imported into your library, ready for grounded citations in later chats.

Follow-ups

Anchor the review in the foundational literature.

Find the five most-cited papers on population-level salt reduction interventions published before 2015. I want the papers that shaped the field, not the most recent ones.

Give the imports a home.

Create a folder called "Salt Reduction Review" and move all the papers I just imported into it. Then run a quick summary across the folder so I can see what I have before I start reading.

Tips

• Describe the question you are building toward, not the topic alone. A narrower prompt returns a directly usable set.
• For a systematic review, include the PICO framing, which structures the query the way your inclusion criteria will be.
• Name PubMed explicitly for biomedical topics and Anara prioritizes that index.
• Read the relevance summaries before approving. Ask for the abstract when a paper looks off-topic.
