Work through an open-access paper

Open Study a paper and search by title, author or topic. Results come from Europe PMC. Open access is the constraint that matters: a paper behind a publisher paywall can be found here but not read here, and the tool tells you which you are looking at.

The breakdown keeps the paper's own structure. Go to the method and the sample first. A conclusion read without them is a headline, and headlines are where most misreadings of research begin.

Most papers say what they cannot support, and that passage is usually the most useful paragraph in the document. Use the claim list to get to it rather than scrolling: limitations are almost always near the end of the discussion.

Every extracted claim links to the passage it came from. If you are going to quote or cite something, open its evidence first. Novus Learn does not summarise findings in its own words precisely so that this check is always possible.

The source export carries the paper's identifiers and links, so the citation you write later does not depend on remembering where you found it.
