Use an automatic summary to guide reading

Semantic Scholar TLDRs are AI-generated summaries intended to help locate papers. Treat them as an entry point. Before making an argument, read the study and check population, method and limitations; a short summary cannot show everything.

Discovery
Read the title, authors and publication date.
Summary
Distinguish the automatic TLDR from the authors’ abstract.
Evidence
Return to the paper before citing a result.
TLDR coverage
The consulted FAQ limits TLDR coverage to computer science and biomedicine. A record without a TLDR is therefore not evidence of low relevance or quality.
