Answering a research question often requires reading through several papers and figuring out how each of them might be useful. You need to track down what each paper says about your question, what methods the authors used to arrive at the relevant results, and what caveats to keep in mind to understand the boundaries.

Today, we are introducing Scholar Quick Read, to help you answer your research queries faster. Search results in Scholar Labs and Scholar search that discuss your question in depth now include a “Quick read” link.

Click “Quick read” to read a short presentation of the paper focused specifically on your query. You’ll see an overview and three sections: Answers, Approach, and Considerations.

The Answers section presents an overview of what the paper says about your query as well as the supporting details for each of the points. Click “Show details” to view the details.

The Approach section describes the methods and techniques from the paper that are relevant to your question.

Finally, the Considerations section lists some caveats to keep in mind as you analyze the results.

Quick Read links appear only for papers that you have access to. We have worked with many of our scholarly publishing partners to enable them for your subscribed articles. We thank all our colleagues for joining us in this shared endeavor.

Quick Read is available for logged in users and is currently limited to English articles.

Here is hoping Quick Read helps find answers to your research questions in the ocean of knowledge.
