Research direction

Start by locating the documentation page for adding a paper and the General tab, then review how the Citation field and its search button are described. Update the documentation to cover fetching when the value is blank or its DOI TTL has expired, and retaining the existing value otherwise; verify the listed workflow and screenshot remain accurate.
