FROM DISCOVERY TO UNDERSTANDINGGood research
Good research
builds on what came before
Discover a work through journals, topics, or authors. Keep its identity, versions, files, and research context together as you collect, read, organize, and reuse it.

Every version
All your context
A preprint becomes a publication. You add a supplement, make an annotation, or save a reading note. They belong to the same research story.
A persistent Gewu Key connects the paper’s identifiers, sources, files, and placements. New metadata and versions can enrich the same record; adding the paper to another folder or Space keeps its existing connections.

STAY CLOSE TO YOUR FIELDThree ways in
Three ways in
One place to keep going
Follow the venues you read, the questions you ask, and the people whose work you trust.
MADE FOR THE WAY RESEARCH UNFOLDSNot just a collection
Not just a collection
A place to work
Start with a task you already do. Follow it through a workspace that keeps the context intact.
THE DETAILS THAT SUPPORT DAILY WORKBring it in. Find it again
Bring it in. Find it again
Keep working
From an existing PDF folder to a publication list, the practical parts of research have a place here.
01 / IMPORT
Your existing library belongs here
Add articles directly from the monitors, drag in PDFs, or import a directory tree with Folder Loader. Browser also supports reviewing and saving a paper while you explore its original source.
Find the paper you remember
Search by text or identifier, with typo tolerance and word variants. Switch between List and Table View, and sort your collection by when papers were added.
Keep reading close to the evidence
Preview PDFs and Markdown notes with Quick Look, including mathematical expressions in Markdown. On macOS, open a local paper in Preview and keep annotations and reading notes in its Paper Files.
A space for every line of inquiry
Use folders, independent Spaces, and shortcuts to arrange materials around your research. A paper can belong to several contexts while sharing the same underlying record.
Take your work to the next step
Export your publication list to Word, LaTeX, PDF, or an Overleaf project. Portable folder exports include files and a manifest for restoring their relationships in another Gewu workspace.
06 / FOLLOW UP
Keep publication updates in context
Review corrections and other publication notices from the monitor sidebar. Supported linked notices stay associated with the original article, so a correction PDF can be kept with the paper it updates.
