DOI Search brings 395M research papers to you
With Keymate, we have implemented a new way to get answers from expert research articles through DOI search. You can now find and summarize 395M articles with Keymate (as of February 2024).
What is a DOI?
"A DOI is a digital identifier of an object, any object — physical, digital, or abstract. DOIs solve a common problem: keeping track of things. Things can be matter, material, content, or activities." - DOI Foundation
Essentially, it is a unique ID that can be used to find many objects on the internet. It is especially used with academic research papers and articles online.
How does Keymate access these articles?
Keymate utilizes a combination of three different platforms to access the articles via the DOI: Google Scholar, Sci-hub, and CrossRef. When you give the specific DOI, Keymate goes and checks the public information on these three sources and if it is available, provides you with the summary of the article.
All you need to do is write
Summarize the article from DOI <PASTE DOI HERE>
Using /academicsearch slash command
For DOI Search, you can also use our new slash command /academicsearch.
Example Prompt:
/academicsearch <PASTE DOI HERE>
This prompt will load the paper into our system and allow you to access summaries from our new Sci-hub platform.
How do I find the DOI of an article?
There are many ways to find the DOI, although not every academic paper has a DOI. Here are the ways to find a DOI from some popular sites:
Google Scholar
Google Scholar does a decent job making the DOI easy to find on their site. All you need to do is search for a specific topic or paper:
The DOI won't always be immediately accessible like in the GIF above. Sometimes it might show up as a link that looks like doi.org/xx.xxxx/xxxxxx.
In that case, use the "xx.xxxx/xxxxxx" part of the URL as DOI.
In this example, the link https://doi.org/10.1016/j.techsoc.2023.102372 actually has the DOI in the URL: 10.1016/j.techsoc.2023.102372
IMPORTANT: Not all Google Scholar articles are available. Only the PDFs that are publicly accessible.
JSTOR
JSTOR is another popular resource for finding academic papers. In order to find the DOI in JSTOR, you need to inspect the page source and find it there.
Go to jstor.org and search for your desired paper.
Click on the desired paper and go to the page where you can see the summary of the paper.
On the page right-click (CTRL+Click) and selected "Inspect"
Once you are in the inspect window, search for "ObjectDOI" (CMD+F or CTRL+F) in the inspection window. There you will find the DOI.
What if it can't find the DOI?
Not all papers are accessible, some may not be able to be found. However, since we check multiple resources, it may be worth checking the other resources for results. Here are some places you can check to see if the article is accessible:
sci-hub.st / sci-hub.se
semanticscholar.org
You can go to one of these two sites and check to see if the DOI is available there. If it is then you should be able to access it via Keymate.ai.
How do I work with academic papers without using the DOI?
If you are able to find the text of the academic paper and you want to work with the paper without DOI Search, you can follow one of two ways to work with the academic paper
Copy and paste the text into the chat
To copy and paste the text, on the location of the text for the article, simply use CTRL+A or CMD+A to select all the text on the page/article, then prompt like this:
Summarize the following text: <PASTE TEXT HERE>
Download as readable PDF and load into your Keymate Memory
If the article is available as a downloadable PDF, you can download the PDF and then load it into your Keymate Memory here. Uploading PDFs consumes no quota.
How do I know if the DOI will work?
Here is a quick cheatsheet on understanding if the DOI will work.
DOI GUIDE
✅ Google Scholar articles that point directly to the accessible PDFs
✅ DOI can be found and accessed on sci-hub.st / sci-hub.se
✅ DOI can be found and has open-access via semanticscholar.org
❌ Google Scholar resource is empty or non-PDF
❌ DOI cannot be found
