- How to search for preprint documents related to a research topic of interest
In Causaly you can now leverage preprints and the evidence extracted from them to stay up to date with the latest research on your respective topics.
With the integration of more than 120,000 preprint documents from bioRxiv and medRxiv, you can find what’s emerging in your research area of interest to stay informed and ahead of the competition.
Construct your Causaly search by starting with a target, disease, or drug you have in mind and selecting a relevant search topic.

Step 1: Search for preprints related to a research topic of interest
To search for patents filed for inventions related to a research topic, use Intelligent Search on the Causaly homepage (Figure 1).
Figure 1: Intelligent Search on the Causaly homepage.
In the input box, type the name of a specific target, process and/or disease of interest, such as "targets for Parkinson's disease in proteomic studies". Select the proposed search topic and click on the bottom search suggestion to explore all targets related to Parkinson's disease in proteomic studies (Figure 2).
Figure 2: Select "Targets for Parkinson Disease in proteomics" that comes as a suggested search topic.
After clicking on it, Causaly will initiate this search.
Expand the filter panel on the left. Under ‘Publication Type’ or ‘Data Source’, refine to ‘Preprint’ to view results with evidence from preprint documents (Figure 3).
Figure 3: The Preprint option is found under the Publication Type or Data Source filter.
TIP!
- You can use additional filters from the filter panel on the left to better define your quality standers or research objectives. For example, you can use the “Publication Year” filters to refine for preprint documents published within a particular time range, e.g. in the last 3 years (Figure 4) (link).
Figure 4: Refine to preprints published since 2020.
- You can explore the preprints for all targets under the ‘Articles’ view. Click on an article of interest to view the abstract of the preprint document (Figure 5).
Figure 5: The side bar with the abstract appears when you click in any article title.
