# Academia & Research

> Find and select papers with a reproducible record of how the reading set was built.

A literature workflow should separate finding papers from evaluating what they say, and keep a record of how the reading set was built. Start with discovery and source selection, then bring the selected papers into a comparison.

<div className="vx-wf-grid not-prose">
  <a className="vx-wf" href="/use-cases/academic"><span className="vx-label">Literature search</span><strong>Find and select papers</strong><span className="vx-wf-desc">Find candidate papers, inspect the evidence and build source-linked comparisons.</span><span className="vx-wf-ex">RAG evaluation methods and citation faithfulness</span></a>
</div>

## Run a workflow

Each workflow page has a runnable request and notes on checking the output. Use [Search](/search/quickstart) when your application owns retrieval and analysis, or [DeepResearch](/guides/deepresearch-quickstart) for a cited report and files. Check [data sources](/data-sources) for the evidence your task needs.
