Everything Article library does for you

Built for students who'd rather study than set up tools.

17 free sources, one search

arXiv, PubMed, OpenAlex, Crossref, HAL, theses.fr, OpenAIRE, Europe PMC, bioRxiv, medRxiv, RePEc, PubChem, EUR-Lex, DOAJ, Semantic Scholar, Zenodo and ERIC, queried in parallel from one box.

Filter by subject, year, access

Narrow results by academic subject, publication year, open-access full text, and language, so you find the right paper instead of wading through thousands of hits.

Open-access PDFs first

Toggle 'PDF only' to surface papers you can actually read in full. Every result links to the legal source page; Noto never hosts paywalled content.

Clip papers into your notes

Link any article to a Noto note so the reference, abstract and source URL live next to your own writing and revision material.

How it works

Three steps. Under a minute.

1

Type a query

Enter a topic, author or keyword. Noto routes it to the most relevant academic sources automatically.

2

Filter the results

Refine by subject, year, open access and language to find the paper you need.

3

Clip it to a note

Open the article at the source, or link it straight into a Noto note to keep it beside your study material.
