FAQPage Schema
How do I search for academic papers and read only specific sections?

You can search for academic papers and read specific sections using progressive reading features. This approach allows you to access layered levels of a paper, starting with the abstract before moving into detailed sections.

What is progressive reading for open-access literature retrieval?

Progressive reading is a layered access method for academic papers that enables section-level reading. It allows researchers to start with an abstract and systematically navigate through deeper sections of open-access literature.

How do I find trending academic papers on a specific topic?

Finding trending academic papers is achieved by searching for your topic of interest using DeepXiv. The retrieval method surfaces relevant open-access literature optimized for your research query.

Can I retrieve open-access literature without reading the entire paper?

Yes, you can retrieve open-access literature without reading the entire paper by using layered access. This feature provides different levels of paper access based on your specific research needs and reading depth.

Do I need Python scripts to perform literature retrieval with DeepXiv?

Python scripts and the DeepXiv SDK are utilized for enhanced paper processing and literature retrieval. You initiate the process by commanding a search for your specific topic of interest to retrieve relevant papers.
