So how does DrPaper eliminate generative AI usage risks?

✅ Full insight into the source texts and original information

1. Accuracy and Reliability
- DrPaper works only on scientific literature and starts with finding answers to your questions in original texts - it shows the original sentences and paragraphs.
- No substantive value is generated by AI and the context is always visible.

✅ Full control over a scientific data interpretation

2. Bias and Fairness
- It's the Scientist who decides whether the literature review was sufficiently comprehensive and multifaceted.

✅ Automatic content attribution with Ethics-Meter

3. Ethical and Authorship Concerns
- Each sentence is attributed Ethics-Meter that points the level of ethical acceptance for each sentence origin e.g. was it hand-written or just grammatically corrected or is it AI-summarization.

✅ Style support with full Scientist’s control over a quality

4. Quality and Style
- In science quality is more important than a style. In DrPaper Scientist is supported in all the analytical and creative work to secure high quality of information. AI only supports repetitive and tedious tasks. If Scientist decides that the style is a blocker to them - AI will help.

✅ Style support with full Scientist’s control over the quality

5. Transparency and Interpretability
- The full process of statements and arguments formation is transparent and repeatable. In DrPaper you can share: what source articles you used, what questions you asked, which source texts you cited etc. It's up to a Scientist what level of transparency they want to provide to a Reviewer

✅ Thinking is still on Scientist’s side

6. Dependence on AI
- The fundamental idea of DrPaper creators is to develop a system that supports a Scientist's critical and analytical thinking and never replace it. However, we do think that a Scientist is not a writer and AI can help them structure sentences, check grammar, paraphrase or translate pieces of text.

✅ Full transparency on AI usage is possible – it’s a Scientist’s decision to provide it

7. Ethical use of AI
- It's a part of DrPaper mission to guard the ethics of scientific texts writing. The system doesn't allow for mindless text creation. It requires a human work and verification. DrPaper automatically discloses how each part of a text was created. Scientific journals require AI use disclosures stated in articles. DrPaper helps Scientists and prepares such disclosures.
