Studying doesn't have to be an endless, complex process. Why not try out these easy tips to get the most out of your reading list!

Let’s make 2025 the year of efficient study!

Here are 3 tips that you can try today, to get more out of your reading list:

Use Scholarcy’s enhanced summary to customise your reading experience.

Our enhanced summary feature lets you adjust the summary you see to your preference - but what’s often overlooked is how it can also be used to walk you through more advanced topics!

Start off by setting the summary to the Skim reading setting to get a general overview of the content, then gradually increase the complexity of the language as you build a greater understanding.

Scholarcy's Enhanced Summary feature

Incrementally increasing the complexity of the summary will enable you to build more knowledge, at your own pace!

Confirm your understanding, and fill in knowledge gaps with the dig deeper tool

Using your own words, write a prompt, or ask a question to get a customised response to make sure you understand the content from the article.

How do I know the dig deeper tool is trustworthy though?

Dig deeper will only use content found inside the original article, and never uses the internet - this means, if you ask a question outside the scope of the original article, you simply won’t get an answer. Nothing ever gets made up!

Discover how an article fits into the wider field of research with Scholarcy’s Research Comparison tool!

Have you ever wondered how an article measures up to the vast quantity of cited literature?

Performing a comparative analysis can be time consuming and complex…

Scholarly takes away the strain with its super simple Research Comparison tool!

In one click you’ll find how an article has built on, or differed from cited work, and how the results confirm and contrast previous findings. You can also effortlessly navigate to the citation in the reference list for more insights to the cited work.

So there you have it, 3 simple steps to build more knowledge from your reading list, in a fraction of the time!

To recap: Start by adjusting the enhanced summary to your preference, and then reinforce  your understanding by asking questions in the Dig Deeper tool. Once you’re confident you understand the article, let’s take it a step further and see how it fits in with other papers in the wider field of research: head to the Research Comparison section to build these connections in just 1 click!
