Found a paper online? Skip the download. Paste the URL, DOI, or PubMed ID into Anara and it fetches the paper and populates the metadata automatically. It's the fastest way to build your library from papers you find during a search session.
How to import
In your library, click the Add button in the toolbar.
Select Import by URL.
Paste one of the following:
A paper or web page URL (e.g.
https://www.nature.com/articles/...)A DOI (e.g.
10.1038/s41586-021-03819-2)A PubMed ID (e.g.
PMID:34234345)
Click Import. Anara fetches the content and adds it to your library.
DOI and PMID imports resolve metadata automatically: authors, journal, publication date, and citation count. Full text is retrieved where the paper is publicly accessible.
Tip: You can paste DOIs without the https://doi.org/ prefix. Anara recognizes both formats.
Full text availability
Whether Anara retrieves the full text depends on whether the paper is openly accessible. Open access papers and preprints usually return full text. Paywalled journal articles may return only the abstract.
The Full text column in your library shows the status after import. If you see Abstract only, download the PDF through your institutional library access and upload it directly to get the full text.
Importing YouTube videos
Paste a YouTube video URL to import it as a Video item. Once imported, you can open it and chat with Anara about its content using the viewer sidebar.
Importing web pages
Any web page URL you paste is saved as a Website item. Useful for articles, blog posts, and documentation. For saving pages as you browse without switching tabs, try the Anara Clipper browser extension instead.
Importing in bulk
To import an entire Zotero or Mendeley library without importing papers one by one, use Connectors in Settings.
Note: Zotero and Mendeley import requires a Plus plan or higher. See Anara plans for details.
