Paperingo

A paper, not a chat

Write it with your sources.
Hand in a PDF that holds.

Say what the paper is, bring the works it stands on, and write it together. Paperingo sets it as a real document — footnotes, figures, a bibliography in the style your course names — and checks it before it says done.

  • Every citation is a real work — a source comes in by its DOI or from a search of the literature, never from memory. A citation to nothing cannot be printed.
  • Quotations are read against the source — when the text is on file, a quotation that is not in it is caught before you are.
  • Held to the length — the words or pages the course set, and the PDF's own text read back to prove it.

How it works

Three things, in a conversation

No template and no outline to fill in. You say what it is and what you have; it writes, you push back, it writes again.

  1. 01

    Say what the paper is

    The course, the length, the citation style, the language. A seminar paper, a bachelor's thesis, a 卒業論文, an article for a journal.

  2. 02

    Bring the sources

    A DOI, a search of the literature, an entry you type from the book in front of you, or the whole project you already have — Typst files, figures and a bibliography, as they are.

  3. 03

    Read what comes back

    The page, on the page: select a sentence, a figure or a table and ask about it. Change a line yourself. Every version is kept.

Sources

The paper stands on works that exist

A paper's facts are its sources. Paperingo keeps them as a list it can only cite from, and the bibliography is set from that list in the style you name.

Any citation style with a name — APA, Chicago, IEEE, the one your department publishes — and thousands more, found and attached.

  • By DOI

    The publisher's own record, fetched from the registry: title, authors, year, exactly as published.

  • By search

    A search of the open literature returns real works with their DOIs, for you to add or leave.

  • By hand

    An entry typed from the book on your desk is kept and marked as yours, so the checks say which sources are unverified.

The checks

Before it says done

A chat window hands you text. Paperingo hands you a document it has read back, and it will not call the paper finished while a check fails.

  • 01

    It is set

    Every write goes through the typesetter. A citation to a work not on file, a figure that is missing, a formula that does not close — refused where it happens, not found by your reader.

  • 02

    It is honest

    A quotation is read against the source's own text. The length is counted in the unit your course counts. The pages are counted against the target.

  • 03

    It is read back

    The text is pulled out of the PDF and read in order, the way a reviewer's tools and a plagiarism check will read it.

What it does not do: invent a source, a number or a line of a quotation. When it has not read something, it paraphrases and cites.

The desk

A thesis is a place you move around in

The document is in the middle, the conversation beside it, and a map of the whole thing at hand.

  • The outline

    Every heading with its page number. Click one and the page is there.

  • Ask about this

    Select words on the page, or tap a figure, a table or an equation, and ask. It knows where that is in the source.

  • Your files, your edits

    Open any file and change it yourself; the typesetter checks your change like any other. Import a project or a zip and keep working where you left off.

  • On the phone

    The same paper, the same conversation, the same files, on your iPhone, iPad or Android — read on the train, ask about a sentence, fix a citation key.
