Add papers by DOI, PMID, link or PDF
Add a paper to a project from its DOI, PubMed ID, a web link, or a PDF file.
From a DOI, PMID or link
- In "Library", choose "Add source".
- On the "Link or identifier" tab, paste into "Link, DOI, or PMID". A DOI, a doi.org link, a PubMed ID or link, or any web page works.
- Choose "Add source", or press Enter.
The paper appears straight away, and Mosaic looks for its PDF in the background. If the lookup takes more than 30 seconds, check the identifier and try again.
From a PDF
- In "Add source", open the "Upload PDF" tab.
- Choose "Choose a PDF to upload", pick the file (up to 50 MB), then "Upload PDF".
If you see "No title or DOI could be read from this PDF.", the paper is added under its file name. Choose "Add details", or later "Edit details", to fill it in.
Already have it? Mosaic says so ("This DOI is already in the library") and offers "Open it". See also Import from Zotero or Mendeley.
