Shelf feature
Write research papers in your library
Typed Docs are no longer just notes. Shelf adds citations, bibliography styles, outlines, footnotes, KaTeX equations, version history, suggest mode, and export — beside the PDFs you cite.
What you get
- APA, MLA, Chicago, and IEEE in-text cites plus bibliography refresh
- Import BibTeX / CSL-JSON (including Zotero exports)
- Cite a PDF highlight into an open Doc with page locator
- Export Markdown, PDF, Word, or LaTeX from the Doc toolbar
- Outline, word count, footnotes, figures, equations, and templates
- History snapshots, comments, and suggest-mode track changes
Researchers and thesis writers usually juggle a PDF library, a word processor, and a reference manager. Shelf keeps sources and drafts in one place: highlight a paper, cite into a Doc, rebuild References, then export for your journal or advisor.
Templates cover abstract, literature review, methods, IMRaD, thesis chapter, and cover letter. Research AI assists can tighten an abstract or check claims against bibliography keys — using the same Tutor token pool.
