@scispace_ 4. Click the most promising paper
This will lead you to the SciSpace website. Here you can:
- use conversational AI to explore the paper

@scispace_ 5. Related papers
Pick a paper from the related papers list that matches your query even better .
SciSpace arranges it on the right.
You can recursively repeat this process and always scroll back to the original papers.
This is called a depth-first search of literature.

You can use SciSpace's AI to analyze these notebooks, just like it can analyze PDFs.
This can be really handy if your notes form a big part of your knowledge base.
