How PhD students use Alfred Scholar
Literature reviews
Upload the papers for your review, then ask Alfred to summarize findings with page citations. Use Telescope to compare methodologies across papers in one matrix and surface the gaps, with every cell traced to its source page.
Thesis writing
Write your thesis in Alfred's manuscript editor with auto-save, word count tracking, and submission guideline validation. Dictate by voice, typeset math equations, and use Rewrite with AI to tighten a paragraph, all without leaving the page.
Citation management
Import your existing BibTeX or RIS library, or let Alfred auto-extract references from your PDFs. Format citations in APA, MLA, Chicago, IEEE, Harvard, or Vancouver with one click, and open Citation Constellation to explore how a paper connects to the literature from its DOI.
Pre-submission checks
Run your monthly plagiarism check against all documents on the platform before submitting to your committee or a journal. Catch unintentional overlap early.
Advisor collaboration
Share your workspace with your advisor as a Colleague or Reviewer. They can see your papers, read your manuscript drafts, and leave comments without needing their own account setup.
Reading and annotating
Read papers in the built-in PDF viewer. Highlight passages with color-coded annotations, add notes, and review all your highlights organized by color across your entire library.
