Library — save, tag & export academic papers

Your saved papers — tag, browse, and export.

What Library does

Save papers from your Scout, Cite, and BibCheck results, then organize and export them from one place.

  • Save papers you find across RefScout with one click.
  • Organize with tags, notes, reading status, and ratings.
  • Import an existing BibTeX file into your library.
  • Export in BibTeX, APA, MLA, Chicago, Vancouver, IEEE, RIS, CSL-JSON, or CSV format.

Why this matters

Sources you find are only useful if you can get back to them. Library is your saved-paper workspace: keep the papers you find, tag them by project or theme, browse and filter, and export a clean bibliography when you're ready to write.

Examples

Save, tag, export

Save a paper from Scout, tag it (e.g. methods, related-work), filter your Library by tag, and export the selection as a .bib or citation list for your manuscript.

FAQ

Do I need an account?

Yes — Library is tied to your account so your saved papers persist across sessions.

Where do saved papers come from?

From Scout results (and other tools) — every saved item is a real database record, not a generated reference.

Can I export in different citation styles?

Yes — export your selection as BibTeX or a formatted citation list.

Are my saved papers private?

Your Library is tied to your own account and not shared.
