Your saved research papers
DockScholar currently stores your research papers and research data locally in this browser on this computer.
Your DockScholar local storage is not a backup. Your saved papers will generally remain available only on this computer and browser.
If you need to use your research on another computer, you will need another way to transfer or synchronize your files.
