OpenAlex API key (optional)

You don't need one. Without a key you get ~1,000 shelf loads a day. A free key from openalex.org/settings/api raises that 10×.

Era

The Era control now lives in Aisles and Wander — the two modes that sample the archive — so you can see what it affects. It deliberately does not touch the Reading Room: a journal's listing should never be filtered by era.

Sciendipity avoids repeating papers it has already shown you. Reset to let everything resurface.

Keyboard

Arrow keys move between cards · Enter previews · s shelves · x skips · f follows the thread · Esc closes. In the Reading Room, [ and ] walk back and forward through a journal's run. On a phone, swipe a card left to skip.
