Description

Category: 3rd Party Integrations

The Papers plugin simplifies the process of bringing academic research into your notes by connecting directly with the arXiv API. With a single query, you can search using either a paper title or a direct arXiv link, then generate a note populated with key details like the title, author list, publication year, and source URL. Beyond metadata, it can also fetch the corresponding PDF and embed it within the note, making both references and full texts easily accessible in one place. This allows researchers, students, or anyone exploring scientific literature to maintain a structured and well-organised collection of papers inside their vault without juggling external tools.

Papers for Obsidian

Papers is a simple plugin that retrieves, imports, and cites research papers. It queries the arXiv API to download PDFs and save metadata directly into the vault.

Usage

Papers has two key functions: import and cite.

To import, Papers searches arXiv and creates a new note with the paper metadata (paper title, authors, publication year, URL, and PDF). The search query can either be

  1. arXiv URL: A direct link to the paper (e.g., https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762).
  2. Title: The paper title, which is used to fuzzy search arXiv and prompt the user to choose among results.

To cite, Papers searches through the vault and creates a wikilink (with optional alias) to the imported paper note.
