Scholars is for students, researchers, academics, and research groups who want to read and discuss papers together. Create a shared reading room for a lab, class, journal club, or project, then upload PDFs or find papers to add. Rooms can be private or public and keep papers organized by topic or project. While reading, collaborators can highlight passages, add comments directly to PDFs, and discuss specific sections in threaded conversations, with annotations visible in real time. Personalized recommendations help readers discover papers related to their interests, and an AI assistant can answer questions about a paper, such as explaining or summarizing a highlighted passage. Scholars may suit people who want a shared space for understanding and discussing research; it is focused on collaborative reading rather than manuscript writing or citation management.
