What Premium search features include
Academia Premium gives you more ways to search, narrow, and follow research on Academia. These tools help you find more specific results, search within paper text, and stay updated on new papers related to your interests.
Premium search features include:
-
Full-text search: We'll search the full text of the document for your query or parts of your query, not just titles.
-
Search filters: You can narrow down any search results you've gotten from any other searches by specific parameters, such as date published, language, or type of content.
-
Search alerts: Save a search and receive updates when new matching papers are added. You don't have to remember to search for the same same query over and over again—we'll update you automatically in your inbox! You can read more on how to use search alerts in our search alerts page.
Before you upgrade
Premium search tools help you find and narrow results, but it doesn't unlock additional papers in your search, give access to missing pages, or a give you access to the full version of a document.
All papers can always be downloaded for free on Academia, and we always include the entire included text of the document added to the site. If you downloaded five pages of a fifty page book, that's all we have, and paying for Premium won't unlock those forty-five other pages.
