Free full-text biomedical papers — unlike PubMed proper, articles here import complete, not as abstracts.
Import into NotebookLM
- 1Copy the link above (or a specific page from the site).
- 2In your notebook, click Add source → Website.
- 3Paste the link and confirm — several links can be pasted at once, one per line.
NotebookLM reads the text of the page you give it. Paste pages that carry the full text (an arXiv abs page, a PubMed Central article) — a paywalled landing page imports as just an abstract.

- Google ScholarThe widest net for finding papers across every field; follow its links to a full-text version before importing.
- arXivPreprints for AI, CS, math and physics. Paste the abs page URL as a Website source — figures survive that route better than an uploaded PDF.
- Semantic ScholarAI-assisted paper discovery with citation graphs — good for building the reading list before you build the notebook.
- SSRNWorking papers in economics, law, finance and the social sciences, most downloadable as full-text PDFs.
