January 2021 in Review
We’re excited to start the new year off with some new updates for your Papers library! Join us for a walkthrough of the newest features in our Papers Product Release Webinar.
Papers 3 Importer (Desktop)
For our Papers 3 users, we have upgraded the desktop importer to make transferring libraries even easier. Instead of having a separate app we now have folded our new importer into the desktop app. We’ve added extra support for importing your notes, annotations, and lists so you receive an alert once the transfer is complete, instead of micro-updates.
For detailed instructions on migrating your library over please visit our guide on How do I transfer my Library from Papers 3 to the new ReadCube Papers?
SmartCite for Google Docs
(Web)
We’ve made some UI changes for SmartCite for Google Docs. Now you can easily edit references directly within SmartCite to correctly cite your manuscripts.
Choose to add specific page number or chapter, add a prefix or suppress author names and more.
If the fields above still don’t meet your citation requirement you can manually override any citation style.

SmartLists (Web)
Smart Lists are a great way to organize your Papers library, however, they can be a little intimidating to build if you aren’t sure what queries to create. That’s why we’ve created an easier way to add pre-curated SmartLists to your library!
Take a look at our list below to see some highly requested SmartLists. Simply click on the links and the list will take you to your library where it will find the articles to match the query.
Read our 5 Types of Organized SmartLists and discover more SmartLists to add to your Papers library for easy organization.
As an added bonus you can now also sort SmartLists so if you navigate away, once you return it will be sorted the way you want.
Enhanced Web Reader (Web/Desktop)
A big feature request we’re excited to release is the addition of Tags on the enhanced web reader! Your list of Tags however big or small will now appear on the Notes panel of the panel.
You can add new Tags by selecting the + button. Once your Tag is name it will appear on the PDF and a new Tag folder will be created in your library. To remove any tags, however over the name and select the X button.
