What Explainpaper is

Explainpaper is an AI tool for reading research papers. You upload a paper, highlight text you do not follow and get an explanation immediately, then keep asking questions about the content.

It targets terminology and complex paragraphs in academic articles.

What you can do with it

• Upload a paper and highlight difficult text
• Get an explanation in context
• Ask follow-up questions about the paper
• Read papers outside your own field

Who it is for

• Students reading papers for the first time
• Researchers crossing into another field
• Reviewers and practitioners catching up on literature

What to watch out for

• Explanations can be plausible but wrong; verify against the paper and cited sources
• Uploading unpublished or confidential manuscripts may breach journal or employer rules
• It explains text; it does not check whether the paper's results hold
• Citations generated from explanations should be verified at the source
