Welcome to Paperoni! Paperoni is a tool for paper management.

Search

The Search interface allows searching through Paperoni's database of papers. It searches as you type (with a short debounce). Results are sorted so that the most recent publications appear on top.

• Title: Search by paper title.
• Author: Search by author. It is currently not possible to search for multiple authors. We will likely add this functionality in the future.
• Institution: Search by author affiliation or institution.
• Venue: Search by venue. Venue aliases are not always taken into account, so you may need to search for "Neural Information Processing Systems" instead of "NeurIPS" or vice versa.
• Start/end date: Search for a paper that had any release between the start and end date. For example, an article with a preprint in 2022 and a publication in 2023 will appear both in 2022 and in 2023.
• Peer-reviewed: Check this box to only show peer-reviewed publications.

Click-to-filter

In the search results, you can click on an author name, institution, venue, or year to instantly filter results by that value.

Edit button

If you have validation permissions, an edit icon () appears next to each paper title. Clicking it opens the edit page for that paper in a new tab, where you can modify its title, authors, venues, and other fields.

Editing papers

The edit interface lets you change all data associated to a paper, including title, abstract, authors and affiliations, releases (venues and dates), topics, links, and flags. You can also create a new paper from scratch at /edit/new, or delete a paper.

From the search page, click the edit icon on a paper to open its edit page.

Exclusions

The Exclusions page lets you manage a list of excluded paper identifiers. Excluded identifiers (e.g. arxiv:1234.5678, doi:10.1234/...) will be filtered out during paper discovery. You can add exclusions individually or in bulk (one per line), and remove them as needed.

Focuses

The Focuses page lets administrators configure research focuses that drive paper discovery and scoring. There are two tabs:

• Main: Core focuses that define the research interests (authors, venues, topics, etc.) and their associated scores.
• Auto: Automatically generated focuses. Use the "Autogenerate" button to regenerate them from the current collection.

Each focus has a type, name, score, and an optional flag that controls whether it drives discovery of new papers.

Workset

The Workset page shows papers in the current working set, scored and ranked by relevance to the configured focuses. Papers are displayed with their scores and metadata, and PDF links are available when fulltext has been located.

Latest group

The Latest Group page helps discover recently published papers. You can set an anchor date and a window (days back/forward) to find new papers. The anchor date is the center of the search window: Paperoni searches from anchor date - days back to anchor date + days forward (inclusive). For example, if the anchor date is 2026-02-19, with days back = 30 and days forward = 0, the interval is 2026-01-20 to 2026-02-19. If you set days forward = 7, the interval becomes 2026-01-20 to 2026-02-26. Results are split into peer-reviewed publications and preprints. A newsletter can be generated from these results.

Capabilities

The Capabilities page lets administrators manage user accounts and their permissions. You can add users, and grant or revoke capabilities such as search, validate, admin, and others. Implicit capabilities (derived from the capability hierarchy) are shown visually alongside directly assigned ones.

Reports

The Reports page lists available error reports generated from processing logs. Each report shows errors grouped by type, with tracebacks and occurrence counts. This is primarily useful for developers and administrators debugging data processing issues.
