How to manage literature through the tools provided by the platform?

Platform tools enable efficient digital management of scholarly literature by providing centralized access, organization, and citation capabilities for research sources. Key functionalities include the ability to import references from databases via direct export, DOI lookup, or manual entry; store and categorize entries within personal libraries using folders or tags; and seamlessly integrate citations into writing projects through plug-ins for common word processors. This requires users to maintain consistent metadata (author, title, journal) for accurate retrieval and leveraging the platform's built-in deduplication features. Effective management depends on regularly syncing imports and proactively applying organizational taxonomies. Implementing literature management involves first creating a structured personal library, organizing references into thematic project folders or assigning descriptive tags. Subsequently, users populate this library by adding references using the platform’s import tools or browser extensions when discovering relevant articles. Finally, during manuscript writing, utilize the platform’s citation plug-in (e.g., for Word or Overleaf) to search the library, insert properly formatted in-text citations, and automatically generate a bibliography matching the required style guide, streamlining the writing and referencing process significantly.
