Accessing Papers Using Their DOIs

When you import studies into Silvi, it will always try to retrieve abstracts and full texts of open access papers.

On rare occassions, it may not be able to find the abstract of a given papers. In that case, you can easily access the the paper by clicking on it DOI.

Here's a quick guide on how to do it:

1. Sometimes when you import a paper into a project, its abstract might be missing.

While Silvi will do its best to retrieve abstracts of as many papers as possible, sometimes you might be missing an abstract or two.

If that happens, you can click on the DOI on top of the title of the paper. This will open the paper in a new tab.

2. Copy the abstract of that paper and go back to Silvi.

Click on "Edit" and scroll down a little.

Paste the abstract in the "Abstract" field and click on "Save."

Your abstract will be added.

3. You can also use the DOI feature to download papers while screening full text.

Go to "Full Text" and select a paper you want to download. Click on its DOI and download it to your computer.

4. Next, click on "Browse files" and add the PDF that you just downloaded.

The paper will be added to your project.
