Metadata¶

Additionally to the paper metadata, Laby store the PDF and the plain text. That will enhance your search power.

Check if the metadata are appropriated. Most of the time, Laby will have retrieved the DOI during the upload process. In some cases (old documents, specific formatting, etc.), the DOI field may remain empty or be wrong. You can correct it or try to find the article by its title using the corresponding field.
