PaperCheck provides extendable and integrated tools for automatically checking scientific papers for best practices.
Inspired by practices in software development, where automated checks (e.g., CRAN checks for R packages) are used to identify issues before release, Papercheck aims to screen scientific manuscripts to identify potential issues or areas for improvement and guide researchers in adopting best practices. It can also assist with processing large numbers of papers for metascientific enquiry.
See Get Started for the basics, Articles for more detailed examples of what you can do, or our introductory blog post for a more conceptual overview.
The Team
Papercheck is developed by a collaborative team of researchers, consisting of (from left to right in the picture below) Lisa DeBruine (developer and maintainer) and Daniël Lakens (developer), René Bekkers (collaborator and PI of Transparency Check), Cristian Mesquida (postdoctoral researcher), and Max Littel and Jakub Werner (research assistants). Papercheck was initially developed by Lisa and Daniël in 2024 during Lisa’s visiting professorship at the Eindhoven Artificial Intelligence Systems Institute (EAISI).
