Paperpal

Paperpal helps you catch issues before submission with a suite of academic writing checks and writing tools. Run plagiarism checks, AI detection, grammar checking, reference checks, and “submission-readiness” review in one workflow—so common problems like missing citations, broken links, and language errors don’t reach reviewers.

Use Paperpal to improve draft clarity and tone with an AI Writing Assistant for submission-ready writing, plus an AI Paraphraser (including language options) to rewrite at the right academic level. You can also streamline research with AI Chat with PDFs: upload documents, ask questions, and compare findings to accelerate your literature review.

Paperpal is available for web use and via plugins/add-ons for MS Word, Google Docs, Chrome, and Overleaf. Start with Paperpal Free (no credit card required) or upgrade to Prime for expanded usage limits, including higher scan/upload limits and more detailed checking.
