With a basic registered Keenious account, you will get access to features like:

If you are part of our university customers, make sure you use your intuitional email. This ensures you will be connected to your library and have access to all Keenious Plus features.

For more detailed instructions, check out our in-depth tutorial on how to create a Keenious account.

You can begin a search with a piece of text, a URL or by choosing a PDF. The example below involves putting some notes into the text box on the Keenious homepage. Keenious will generate a list of recommendations. To understand how Keenious makes recommendations, check out this article.

After using Keenious to analyze your document, how can you access the full text of a recommendation? When you find a recommendation that interests you, simply click on the article's title. There, you can see information such as the article's abstract, authors, publishers, etc.

​

If you wish to check out an article's full text, clicking on the 'Check Access'/'Acess Full-Text' button will direct you to Libkey, where you can search for your institution. Another option is to use the "DOI","PDF" or "Links" button.

If you are a customer from a university and we are connected to your institution's library, clicking on the 'Check *Institution* Access' button will direct you to the article within your library's holdings, where you can access the full text.

If your institution does not have access to an article behind a paywall, reach out to your interlibrary loans or acquisitions librarian!

When writing an academic work, it is important to cite any works that you use for ideas, information, and language. Failing to do so can be considered plagiarism. Keenious citation feature will help you keep track of your discoveries and show your work.

You will find the citation button above an article title. You may choose your citation style or even download the citation to your reference management system.

Another way to keep track of your discoveries to revisit later is by using the Keenious Smart Bookmark feature. When you find an article and want to store it for later, simply press the star above the title.

It’s important to note that the Smart Bookmark feature functions as a filter. When you access your bookmarked items, it selectively presents relevant articles labelled 'bookmark' from our collection. Any article that doesn't meet the required relevance level won’t be included in your curated list. However, don’t worry; they’re not lost forever. You can still find them by using a more relevant document!

Keenious offers different ways to help you find research that is relevant to you. One way is by using the search function. This is useful when you already have an idea of what you're looking for. The words you search for will be identified in the articles' title and/or abstract that the keenious recommended.

Above the recommended articles, you will find a "Filters” button. Filters allow you to refine by year, citation counts and open access.

Topics can be found next to the articles tab above your results list. Keenious suggests topics that are related to your text. Some of the topics suggested by Keenious might be as you expected, while others can appear unexpected or surprising to you - that's what makes them so interesting! When you encounter a topic you don't know, just click on it, and Keenious will fill you in with a quick explanation.
​

Filtering by topics helps you find articles with related topics to your document. Allowing you to explore further! To learn how to filter by topics, check out this article.

Discover articles related to recommended articles by clicking on a recommendation and scrolling down to view a list of similar articles. These articles are suggested using the Keenious AI.

When working with a large piece of text like a thesis or a longer assignment, there can be situations where you would like to explore research only to specific parts. Highlight a section of your text and hit 'Explore' to get Keenious recommendations that are specific to those parts yet still relevant to your whole document. To learn more, check out this article.

Researchers and academics frequently work with documents in multiple languages. That's why we created the cross-language search feature. This allows you to find results from English research literature even if their document is in another language. Check out this article to learn more.
