One search, several databases
Discovery lets you search the literature from inside Folio instead of juggling tabs. A single query runs across Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex and CrossRef, and any result can be added to your library in one click — metadata and an open-access PDF are fetched automatically where available.
Discovery is part of the paid plans (Fellow and Chair).
Searching from the Add Source modal
Open the Sources page, click + Add, and choose the Search the literature tab. Type a title, topic, author, or question. Results show the title, authors, year, venue, and citation count so you can judge relevance before adding anything.
Following the citation graph
Every source in your library has a Related tab in its inspector. From there you can pull up:
- Related papers — work similar to the one you are reading.
- References — what this paper cites.
- Cited by — newer work that cites it.
This is how a literature review actually grows: start from one good paper and walk outward.
Hot in your field
Your dashboard shows a Hot in your field widget — recent, relevant work based on what is already in your library. It is a quick way to stay current without setting anything up. (For ongoing, structured tracking, use Research Radar.)
