Project Grouping and Organization

DeepPaper AI's research project feature provides an effective way to organize and manage related papers. This guide will detail how to effectively manage your academic work using the research project feature.

Research Project Concept

Research projects in DeepPaper AI are containers for grouping related papers, suitable for the following scenarios:

  • Literature collection for specific research topics
  • Reference organization for academic paper writing
  • Course reading list management
  • Literature sharing for team collaboration

Research projects help you organize related papers together for systematic management and review.

Creating Research Projects

Creating a New Project

  1. Click "Research Projects" in the top navigation bar
  2. On the research projects page, click the "New Research Project" button
  3. Fill in the following information in the form:
    • Project Title: Give the project a descriptive name
    • Project Description (optional): Briefly describe the content and purpose of the project
  4. Click the "Create" button to complete

Project List Page

The research project list page displays all research projects you've created, with each project card containing:

  • Project title
  • Project description (if any)
  • Number of papers included
  • Creation time
  • Edit and delete buttons

If you haven't created any research projects yet, the system will display an empty state prompt guiding you to create your first research project.

Managing Research Projects

Editing Research Projects

  1. Find the project you want to edit on the research project list page
  2. Click the "Edit" icon on the project card
  3. Modify the project title or description
  4. Click the "Update" button to save changes

Deleting Research Projects

  1. Find the project you want to delete on the research project list page
  2. Click the "Delete" icon on the project card
  3. The system will display a confirmation dialog, reminding you that deleting the project won't delete the papers within it, only remove their association
  4. Confirm deletion

Best Practices for Research Projects

Project Organization Suggestions

  • Create separate projects for each clear research topic, avoid overly broad projects
  • Use consistent naming conventions, such as "[Topic]-[Purpose]" format
  • Add detailed project descriptions, including project goals and scope
  • Regularly organize projects, ensure accurate paper classification

Effective Use of Research Projects

  1. Build Knowledge System:

    • Organize related papers in the same project to establish knowledge connections
    • Use project descriptions to record research directions and key questions

  2. Track Research Progress:

    • Create phase-based research projects to record different stages of research
    • Reflect research evolution through project organization

  3. Improve Literature Review Efficiency:

    • Quickly access all related papers on specific topics through projects
    • Compare methods and results of different papers within projects

  4. Prepare Academic Writing:

    • Create dedicated research projects for paper writing
    • Collect and organize all references related to writing topics

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a paper be added to multiple research projects?

No, currently a paper can only belong to one research project. If you need to reference the same paper in multiple projects, we recommend using the intelligent Q&A feature to discuss the paper in different project contexts.

Will deleting a research project delete the papers within it?

No. Deleting a research project only removes the association between the project and papers; the papers themselves remain in your paper library.

How do I view all papers in a research project?

Click on the project card to enter the project details page, where you can see a list of all papers included in that project.

How do I reorganize my research projects?

You can reorganize research projects by editing project information and adjusting paper project assignments. It's recommended to regularly review your project structure to ensure it reflects your current research needs and directions.
