Can Perplexity help find the original research behind a news story?

Aidar Khabibullin 56 21 Oct 2026

When a science or health story makes the rounds, I often find several articles repeating the same claim but not linking to the study itself. Can Perplexity trace that chain back to the original research paper, rather than stopping at a press release or a news summary?

I’m curious what wording or follow-up questions work best for this, and how you handle cases where the study is paywalled or the articles point to different papers. I’m not looking for a medical verdict—just a more dependable way to locate the source being discussed.
