Advanced paper turns up containing a device that's similar (9)
I believe the answer is:
analogous
'similar' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'advanced paper turns up containing a device' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'advanced' could be 'a' and 'a' is located in the answer.
'a' is found in the answer.
'device' could be 'log' (log is a kind of device) and 'log' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'nous' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'that's' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for analogous that I've seen before include "Eg, mastic" , "show correspondence" , "Comparable in certain respects" , "corresponding" , "similar" .)
