Note: These help pages are outdated and do not apply to the new version of Paperpile released in Summer 2024. For up-to-date information, please visit our temporary Help Center while we work on updating these pages.
Paperpile searches within most textual data fields from your papers including title, abstract, author names, journal, publication year, notes, and identifiers (DOI, PMID, etc.).
Searching within a specific field is not currently supported, but you can filter your library by a specific author, year or journal name by clicking on the author / journal / year from an item in your library.
We are working on an advanced search that will allow you to search in specific fields. As of July 2020, this feature is being tested internally and should be available for beta testing in the next couple of months.
