RESEARCH USE
Where Hypothesis fits
Select text on a stable web page or online PDF and add private, group, or public annotations, using tags and replies to structure discussion. For records that must persist, also capture the source version, access date, and citation, and export or archive important annotations under the project's data-governance plan.
Research tasks
- Create anchored annotations on web pages and PDFs
- Discuss a shared paper within a research group
- Attach tags, citations, and contextual notes to reading material
What to evaluate before use
- Changes to a page, PDF, or URL can break or displace annotation anchors. An annotation does not replace the source document or a formal research record.
- Account, group, and sharing settings determine visibility. Sensitive, restricted, or unpublished material should not be exposed to an unsuitable service or audience.
