Atlas

Atlas takes an academic paper and builds a broader view around it. Create one from any academic PDF in your library to get an expanded explanation of the paper, a map of its ideas, its place in the literature, and the discussion around it.

Create an Atlas

Open an academic paper, select Info in the left sidebar, then choose Create Atlas in the Atlas section. You can also find Create Atlas in the PDF toolbar's More reader actions menu.

Atlas builds each part in the background, so you can keep reading and come back when it's ready. Open Wiki, Concept Map, Related Work, or Community from that same Atlas section to view it in your Workspace.

Atlas is currently available for academic papers only.

Wiki

Atlas generates a detailed wiki for the paper in two styles.

Technical assumes you know the field and goes deeper into the methods, results, and details of the work. Accessible explains the same paper with less assumed background.

Switch between them at any time.

Open the Wiki from the paper's Atlas, then switch from Technical to Accessible without leaving your Workspace.

Concept Map

The Concept Map breaks the paper into its main ideas and shows how they connect.

Use it to move through the paper at a different level than its original section structure: from individual concepts and methods to the relationships between them.

The paper's Concept Map — its main ideas laid out as a graph you can navigate.

Related Work places the paper in its research lineage.

Foundations shows earlier papers this work builds on. Follow-ons shows later papers that cite it and carry the work forward.

Each paper includes a short explanation of its relationship to the source. Open a linked title to explore that paper.

Community

The Community feed collects public discussion around the paper from across the web.

This can include X posts, articles, blog posts, and other writing that references or discusses the work, bringing the conversation around a paper into one place.

Open Community from the paper's Atlas to explore posts and articles discussing the work.

Slides

Atlas can also turn a paper into a presentation.

Choose the length of the presentation, the maximum number of slides, and the venue you’re presenting for. Papiers generates the deck along with speaker notes for each slide.

A generated slide deck with speaker notes, opened from the paper's Atlas.

Slide generation requires Plus and enough usage credits for the generation.
