Discover open access
Attached sources ground AI suggestions and chat in your editor via Knowledge Base.
Upload PDFs, search arXiv and Open Library, and reuse sources across assignments — a student-friendly alternative to heavy reference managers.
Your sources, organised and ready
The Research Library is one organised home for everything you read, with discovery built in and a direct line into your writing.
Upload PDFs and DOCX
Bring in your own readings as PDF or DOCX files (up to 50MB each), with a title, author, abstract, and type.
Discover open-access papers
Search arXiv, Internet Archive, Open Library, and OpenAlex live, and import downloadable papers in a click.
Collections and tags
Group papers and documents into named collections and tag them, so each module or project stays organised.
Search and filter
Find any source fast by filtering on text, type, or tags across everything you’ve collected.
Attach to documents
Attach a paper to an assignment so it grounds the AI’s suggestions and chat through your Knowledge Base.
Reuse across assignments
Your sources live in one place, ready to reuse across essays and reports instead of being found again.
Collect, organize, attach
Three steps take a source from discovery to grounding the AI in your assignment.
Upload or discover sources
Add your own PDFs and DOCX, or use Discover to search open-access databases and import what you need.
Organize into collections
Sort sources into collections and add tags so each module, topic, or assignment has its own shelf.
Attach to an assignment
When you start writing, attach the right papers so they power grounded suggestions and document chat.
From scattered PDFs to a real library
Whether you’re building a reading list or hunting for open-access papers, the library keeps your sources usable.
Build a reading list for a module
Collect every set reading and recommended paper for a module into one tagged, searchable collection.
Find open-access papers fast
Search arXiv, Internet Archive, Open Library, and OpenAlex and import downloadable sources without leaving Notesier.
Reuse sources across essays
Keep your sources in one library so a paper you found for one assignment is ready for the next.

Built to feed your writing
Discover shows only downloadable sources and removes duplicates by DOI, arXiv ID, or URL, so your library stays clean. From there, any paper can be attached to a document to ground the AI through your Knowledge Base.
The source of your source-backed writing
The library is where research starts and where grounded AI gets its material. Explore what connects to it.
Questions about the Research Library
Quick answers to what students ask most.
