# Paper

A **paper** is a scholarly work in the SciSpace corpus, identified by a `pap_` ID and usually a DOI.
You do not create papers; you look them up and reference them.

## Fields worth knowing about

- **`tldr`** — a one-line machine summary. Useful for ranking and previews; not a substitute for the abstract.
- **`is_retracted`** — always surface this in your UI. Citing retracted work is the failure mode researchers fear most.
- **`open_access`** — determines whether full text is available to you at all. See content-licensing.

## Relationships

- Referenced by Citation when `source.type` is `paper`
- Returned by Search and Topic evidence
- Can scope a Chat

## Not to be confused with

**Document** — *a paper is in our corpus; a document is yours.* A paper has a DOI and is
shared across all customers; a document is a PDF you uploaded, private to your account, and deletable.
