Keenious is an AI-powered app that will supercharge your academic reading and writing.
It's your personal research assistant inside MS Word and will save you a lot of time and labor.
But most academics don't know much about it.
Here's how to get started on Keenious:
Go to keenious(dot)com and sign up for a free account by clicking on "Get Keenious!" in the top-right corner.
This is how the your Keenious homepage would look like.
You can look up research articles using complete text of a paper.
This option is not available in Google Scholar and many other AI-powered apps.
Here I am uploading a PDF of a journal article.
Keenious has suggested papers based on the whole text of the article I uploaded.
Keenious lets you filter these article by citation count.
For example, here I am filtering articles that have more than 10 citations.
You can also filter articles by time period.
Here I am filtering articles that were published between 2020 and 2023.
Keenious does not just work with published articles.
You can upload your own unpublished draft and Keenious will help you find relevant articles.
