Keenious works without a separate login for now, but it is recommeded to create an account for oneself, as one can save bookmarks there and export them to reference manager programs, such as Zotero and Endnote. We can also give better support if you have an account.
Login to Keenious takes place as follows:
Go to Keenious at https://keenious.com/. Upload or drag and drop a pdf-file (note that the file should not be a photo of the text, but the text itself). The artificial intelligence of Keenious starts to analyze the text and soon gives you results to the right margin of the screen.Alternatively, you can add a link to a pdf (URL ending with .pdf) or paste text to the Keenious (Text). Note that you can also choose/highlight a part of the text to be analyzed (see more from Keenios Guide).

The search results appear in the right margin of the text in relevance order. If the article or other research text is open access, a pdf-symbol can be found next to the search result. |

When you find a useful article on Keenious, you can use it in different ways. First, create your own account (see above). When you find a search result you like, you can add the information about it directly to a word processor, export it to a reference manager or bookmark it.
Click on the "-" sign in the top right-hand corner of the article. You can choose a citation style from a wide range of options. You can either copy the citation to your desktop, from where you can move it to the bibliography of the article, for example. Alternatively, you can download it as a RIS file to your computer, from where you can transfer it to into the reference management software you use (e.g. Zotero, Endnote).
You can also bookmark your favourite search results in your own account and return to them later. This is done as follows. Click on the star in the top right-hand corner of the article. It will turn yellow, indicating that the article has been added to your bookmarks.
You can view your bookmarks in the basic search (on the right-hand side). At the top is the "My bookmarks" section, which you can click on to view your bookmarks.
Keenious allows you to filter the results in many different ways. Note that you can select not only the whole text, but also only part of the text to be searched. First upload a pdf, link or text to Keenious and let it analyse it. Then click on the button to access the following filters.. Press then
button and get the following filters.
Keenious does not just return results based on search terms, but through text analysis by artificial intelligence. This is particularly evident in the subject search. The search results include suggestions for topics that are relevant to the text in question, which may or may not be mentioned in the text itself. This is very useful if, for example, you are just getting to know a new discipline. You can find the suggested topics in the search results in the section next to the articles (see image).
Click on the topic and Keenious will give a short presentation on it.
Search results can also be refined by adding or removing a topic. Click on the bottom right triangle next to the topic (image above). You can choose to add it to the search criteria ("Add to include list") or exclude it from the search ("Add to exclude list"). You can do the same for multiple topics.
Once these have been added or removed from the search, the search results will be more accurate. You can also do the same for part of the text - paint the desired part and let Keenious do the search.If you want to remove a topic from the search, click on the checkbox in front of it.
Result Insights feature shows you why the Keenious engine ‘thinks’ a certain result is relevant, focusing on factors such as text relevance, publication date and citation count.
Click the "Result Insights" button. It's located at the top right, next to the cite and bookmark buttons.
