The goal of careful paper reading is not a longer summary. It is a faster path back to the source behind an important judgment.

Start with a question, not a full-paper summary

Write down the decision you need to make—about an assumption, a dataset, or an experimental boundary—then organize the reading around it.

SciFound keeps papers, project files, and the conversation together. When a citation follows the supported protocol, you can return to the relevant document location and inspect the surrounding context.

Preserve three layers of context

Keep the source file, a locatable reference, and the task context for every important judgment. Each layer answers a different verification question.

If a reference cannot be located, treat it as a lead to verify—not as a settled conclusion.

Make verification the next action

After checking the citation, continue in the same project: ask a follow-up, revise a file, or record a limitation. Reading and making become one continuous loop.
