Xpapers: Find Academic Papers on arXiv with Abstracts, References, PDFs

Xpapers is an excellent plugin that we have thoroughly tested and reviewed. It offers a wide range of features that make it an indispensable tool for anyone in need of academic papers from the arXiv database. Whether you are a researcher, a student, or simply someone interested in expanding your knowledge on a specific topic, this plugin is sure to meet your needs.

Using Xpapers is straightforward and user-friendly. To begin, you must determine what you are looking for—a specific paper, papers by a particular author, or papers on a specific subject matter. Once you have identified your focus, you can use the plugin to conduct a search. The search can be fine-tuned by specifying search parameters such as the author's name, paper title, or even specific keywords found in the paper's abstract.

The plugin's advanced search capabilities allow you to combine different parameters using logical operators such as AND, OR, and ANDNOT. For instance, by using 'au:Smith AND ti:Quantum Physics' in the search field, you can find papers written by Smith that pertain to the field of Quantum Physics. This makes it incredibly convenient to find exactly what you are looking for amidst the vast amount of information available.

Furthermore, Xpapers gives you control over the number of results you receive by allowing you to specify a maximum limit. You can choose any number up to 50, ensuring that you can review a manageable number of papers at a time.

If you need to narrow down your search even further, Xpapers also enables you to find papers within a specific date range. By inputting the desired start and end dates in the format 'YYYY-MM-DD,' you can limit the search results to a particular timeframe.

Once you initiate the search, the plugin swiftly generates a list of papers that match your criteria. Each result is presented with its title, authors, abstract, and a direct link to access the full paper. While Xpapers does not provide the full-text content within the plugin itself, it provides convenient access to the original source where the paper can be obtained.
