🔎 Updated to show the last author in Search results page

This feature is for exposing the corresponding authors of papers in Search results page. It was based on the common practice in most disciplines that last authors are usually corresponding authors.

If the paper has more than 4 authors, it shows the first, second, and last(corresponding) authors. If you want to see the other authors, click the + N Authors button.


🔎 Updated to show the Collection where you saved the paper

On the Search results page, you can see immediately see whether a paper is already in your Collection. You can see it over the paper titles. If you click the name of the collection, you can directly visit that Collection.

Collection feature Updates

🔎 Updated CRUD(Create, Read, Update, Delete) of Memo in Collection

https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*AlK4dWy9oAtIQZ5XYzxFqA.png

Collection was improved by adding more interfaces for editing the memos. Previously it was only available in Paper show page, and now you can also edit the memos in Collection show page.

Now, you can easily leave memo on individual papers as you read them, or collectively as you manage your Collection.


🔎 Modified Collection feature Policy

The existing Collection policy has a default collection({username}’s Collection) where it was unable to edit the name and description. This is due to the origin of Collection feature, which was simply like bookmarking. We’re modifying the policy both for a better experience and for users’ awareness.
