FAQ from Paperpal

What is Paperpal?

Paperpal is an AI academic writing assistant engineered specifically for scholarly work — combining proofreading, paraphrasing, AI generation, plagiarism scanning, and citation formatting into a single, secure, and intuitive platform. It supports researchers and students at every stage: ideation, drafting, revision, referencing, and submission readiness.

How do I use Paperpal?

Upload your document or type directly into the editor. Enable real-time editing in Google Docs or Word using our free extension. Then leverage features like AI Rewrite, Research & Cite, PDF Summarizer, and Journal Submission Check — all tailored to academic standards and discipline-specific conventions.

Is there a free version of Paperpal?

Yes. The free plan includes 200 language corrections/month, unlimited citation generation, plagiarism checks for up to 7,000 words, and daily access to AI Rewrite, Translate, and Research & Cite (5 uses/day). You can also upload PDFs, ask unlimited questions, and receive a comprehensive Submission Readiness Report — all at no cost.

Can Paperpal help me avoid plagiarism — and will my revised work be flagged?

Paperpal helps *prevent* unintentional plagiarism by highlighting unoriginal phrasing and suggesting original rewrites. While its paraphrased output follows standard academic construction (which may occasionally overlap with published text), Paperpal does not copy or replicate source material. Always review outputs critically — and run final drafts through your institution’s approved plagiarism tool for verification.

Will AI detectors flag Paperpal-assisted writing?

AI detection tools are still evolving and lack scientific consensus on reliability. Paperpal’s outputs are designed to sound natural, human-like, and academically appropriate — not “AI-sounding.” That said, responsible scholarship means using AI as a *collaborative tool*, not a replacement for critical thinking. Revise suggestions in your own voice, add personal insight, and cite appropriately. Remember: many top journals now encourage transparent AI use — not concealment.

Does Paperpal use my documents to train its AI models?

No — never. Your manuscripts, notes, and queries remain strictly confidential. Paperpal does not store, share, or use your data for model training. All processing occurs securely within encrypted, isolated environments. You retain full ownership and control of your intellectual property at all times.

How does Paperpal ensure the security and confidentiality of my research?

Paperpal complies with GDPR, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 standards. Your documents never leave our secure servers. Third-party access is prohibited. No data is sold, monetized, or exposed. You decide what to upload, when to delete, and whether to share — giving you complete sovereignty over your academic work.
