To upload a reference into Paperguide Reference Manager:

Go to My References and click on the "Add Papers" button. You'll see several options for adding papers/documents.

Upload URL/DOI

Select Upload URL/DOI from the dropdown.
Paste the paper’s URL or DOI (journal, book, article, etc.) and it auto-fetches metadata and open-access PDFs.

For best results, add references using URLs or DOIs. Our system will automatically retrieve the metadata and download the PDF if it's available as open access.

In the search bar, enter relevant keywords, or paper titles to search papers.
Browse the list of papers that match your search, and click Add Paper button to import.
