Wonders has always been great for exploration, but finding specific papers meant juggling keywords and Author filters. We heard your feedback and added an easier way to lookup specific papers by DOI and Title. Here’s how to do it…

Lookup Specific Papers (Precision Lookup)

1. Unfurl the “Find a specific paper” search box

   

2. Enter your desired paper DOI or Title (partial title also works):

   1. DOI Lookup

      

   2. Title Lookup (can also be just part of the title - Wonders will pull up several matching papers)

      

3. Find your paper

   

4. Click (+) Save to Topic to keep your paper in your project

   

5. Keep your fresh new paper handy!

   

And that’s it. After saving the paper into your topic, it will become part of your research board’s library until you choose to remove it. We’re also adding new ways to access full-text PDFs directly in Wonders.

Let us know what you think of this new feature & drop any other ideas on how might we support your research workflows on our Feedback Portal.

We have shipped a redesigned filter overlay with an improved design. Following popular requests, the filters now make it much easier to identify high-quality literature.

Find seminal & peer-reviewed literature

You can now use Wonders’ new “Peer Reviewed” filter to only search for literature published in peer-reviewed journals. This is a great way to exclude any pre-prints, thesis, or grey literature from appearing in your search results

Search for Seminal Literature

You can also sort for Seminal Papers — this function uses our new algorithm for identifying literature that has had great impact on its field.

This unlocks brand new possibilities for exploring literature with combinations of Seminal Papers, Peer-Reviewed, or Open Access literature. Helping you set-up search combinations most suitable for your field.

Example

For example, if you are researching in the fast moving field of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, checking “Open Access” and sorting by “Seminal Papers” will help you surface the most impactful pre-prints. Conversely, if you’re in Neuroscience, checking “Open Access” off, “Peer Reviewed Only“, and choosing “Seminal Papers” will point you to the most reputable journals.

We’re working on additional ways to slice and dice literature across different journal levels. Stay tuned for future updates! And as always, let us know your thoughts.

It is now easier to identify where papers come from:

• All papers will now show its originating journal in the card

• Open Access papers (those with free PDF) will be marked with a green OA badge

We have shipped a major batch of performance improvements. Wonders should now feel a lot more stable and snappier as a result.

This update:

• Squashes several rendering bugs (flickering, blinking)

• Reduces connection interruptions on hitting back buttons (and prevents data loss)

• Caches content locally, making daily work faster

• Reduces overall loading speeds and website payload

• Improves search speed and summary generation

Wonders already shortens literature review from weeks to days, but who are we kidding—nobody likes watching loading indicators spin endlessly. Speed & performance matters for daily tasks.

Hopefully you will find working with Wonders a lot faster now—allowing you to finish your literature explorations even faster.

As always, feel free to let us know your thoughts on our Feedback Portal.

A key feature for transparency and research integrity, full citation sourcing, is now live.

When working with academic literature, citation transparency is key to research integrity—any source needs to be fully understood in its original context to avoid misrepresenting data and making false argumentation.

This is of ultimate importance with AI-supported tooling. As is well known, language models can be prone to hallucinations (making stuff up). While Wonders is generally tuned to reduce hallucinations and only draw directly from cited text—Citation Sourcing is a major step forward to ensuring you can be confident in the used resources.

How it works?

All key argument summaries now contain Citation Sourcing—an underlined text. When you hover each argument, a pop-up will show you where the quote originates from.

There are four possibilities:

1. Green - Direct Quote from a paper

2. Multi-Source Quote - paraphrased from multiple agreeing sources

3. Paraphrased Source - Edited language to better fit the narrative

4. Inferred - Filler language or inference (triple check!)

We hope you’ll find Citation Sourcing useful for your workflows. Please let us know how you’re finding this feature and how could we improve it further!

Excited to announce this our latest core feature update — Thesis Editor. This is a major step to fulfilling a complete academic workflow. With the Thesis Editor you can start your research in Wonders and finish your Draft, with full citations, highlights, and supervisor access all in one place. Goodbye Zotero, Word, GoogleScholar and 47 tabs!

How to access the editor?

Access the editor by clicking “Expand” in the notebook column at the end of your research project. (You can also write directly in the notebook)

How does it work?

Once inside, you will access the focused writing editor, complete with your Articles Library and Highlights.

Click on any citation to directly quote it in your text (but make sure you’ve verified its accuracy and understood its context by reading the full-text first). Similarly, you can click on any Article to add its bibliographical reference at the end of your sentence.

Styling

The editor supports basic styling with three levels of headlines, bold, and italics, and you can use Markdown to speed up your writing workflow.

Future updates

We’re working on ways to bring full-text analysis, highlighting, and citing even closer together. Our hope is to make each sentence a robust, fully-traceable block with complete provenance to hold your argumentation even more solid.

Let us know what you think of the editor & welcome to make any suggestions on our Feedback Portal.

We are bringing a fresh drop of features for our Team & Enterprise plans… alongside other important improvements!

1. Company Management

We have launched the v1 of our Company Dashboard—allowing org admins to access ROI critical analytics, measure the impact of their deployment, and manage users.

You can visit your company dashboard by clicking on the company dropdown in the top left header, and choosing your company. Let us know what you think (just hit reply)!

2. UX/UI Clarity: Save to Workflow

We have taken another major step towards completing the Wonders workflow—you can now save the most pertinent papers directly to your search column.

Soon we will be adding an option to use your saved papers for AI processing.

3. Credit & Tier System (AppSumo Customers only)

Credit management is now live. You can now see your plan reflected in the top right corner. If you reach your plan limits, you will see a dismissible popup letting you know—you can still access all your boards and results, but creation and searches will be limited until your next period reset or upgrade.

4. Save to lists

We also fixed a bug preventing users from saving articles to lists. Lists are a global system for managing your paper library. On any article detail, you can click "Add to" and create or choose a list you'd like to store this paper in.

That said, we think that Save To Workflow will become a better place to store your articles directly in the right context.

4. Other fixes & Improvements

✅ Improved summaries with consistent bullet point behavior

✅ UI Refresh bug fixed - Wonders will no longer refresh when navigating to another tab

✅ Mobile view encouraging to use on desktop-only

✅ Comments are consistently visible to all project members

✅ Redo Search - Changing Keywords

✅ Fixed horizontal scrolling in conclusions

✅ Optimized our AI systems for performance

✅ Add users by domain - companies now support multiple domains

Our most-requested feature is live: Wonders now speaks 14 languages, including Portuguese, Japanese, and German.

• Switch your language in: Menu > User > Settings > Language

• The full UI, topics, summaries, and chat now respond in your chosen language

• To search in other languages, you’ll still need to adjust your keywords or boolean terms manually

If you notice any translation oddities, let us know!

Advanced Tip: Configure a board to narrow on literature in specific language results by following the steps below. We will be working working on making multilingual search more seamless at a later stage.
