With Paperpile's AI assistant integration, you can send any paper in your library to Claude, NotebookLM, or ChatGPT in one click. Every AI answer links back to the exact quote in the original PDF. No hallucinated references. No "close enough" paraphrasing.

A NeurIPS submission got caught with hallucinated citations. The authors' admitted they asked ChatGPT to fill in BibTeX from paraphrased in-text citations. We ran a simulation to see how often this fails, and built a free tool to catch it. #AcademicSky

Hallucinated citations are showing up in preprints. We built Paperpile Citation Checker to check your bibliography before you submit. Here's what we learned along the way 1/3

At Paperpile, it's our job to be obsessed about citation accuracy. So we built a free tool to flag incorrect references before you submit a preprint. Paste in a BibTeX file and the Citation Checker verifies every reference in real time.

Paperpile now saves references directly from Google Scholar Labs, the new search tool that lets you find papers using natural language questions instead of keywords. The summary is automatically added as a note, so you keep the context of why a paper matched your question, not just the citation.

The feature we all have been waiting for, thanks @paperpile.com

We've been working on something we're really excited about: a direct connection between your Paperpile library and the AI assistants you already use. ✨️ You can now send PDFs to ChatGPT, NotebookLM, or Claude. 1/2

Presentation tip: Design your talk for non-specialists. While you should aim your talk at the majority of the room, make it accessible to the least knowledgeable person present. 1/2 #AcademicSky

Researchers: How do you decide what journal to submit to? 📩 Our tip: Start with fit, not impact factor. Look at where the papers you cite are published, check the journal’s recent articles, and make sure your work actually matches their scope.

Coming soon: Paperpile’s first AI-native integration ✨️ Send papers from your library directly to NotebookLM, ChatGPT, or your preferred AI assistant.

An analysis of more than 500 scientific talks finds humor isn’t often used in them—and when it is, the jokes usually fall flat or elicit only polite chuckles, via @ScienceMagazine www.science.org/content/arti...

Researchers are increasingly using LLMs to help format bibliographies for manuscripts. But these models sometimes generate non-existent academic references. Tens of thousands of publications from 2025 might include invalid references generated by AI, via @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Strict reproducible pipelines that always run from raw data can slow down analysis and break over time. 📊 A practical approach is to save the final processed dataset before plotting, which makes results easier to access in the future, via @clauswilke.com blog.genesmindsmachines.com/p/creating-r...

Filler transitions, em dashes on every line, self-answered rhetorical questions...all classic tells of AI writing. A Claude skill can remove these patterns, which is useful for paperwork like budget justifications you don’t want to write anyway, via @stephenturner.us blog.stephenturner.us/p/deslop

AI is making it easier to analyze and stress-test scientific work at scale, which could improve rigor and reproducibility. But there’s a risk: more data and better predictions don’t necessarily lead to paradigm shifts, via @asimovpress.bsky.social

AI is making it easy to run large-scale robustness checks like multiverse analyses on research papers, potentially transforming peer review and scientific scrutiny. This could make it harder for fragile results to be published. 1/2

An analysis of submissions to bioRxiv shows steady growth in the number of scientists uploading their work. In 2025, more than 4,000 papers are posted each month, alongside millions of views and downloads, via @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Compiling research datasets from scattered reports can take months of manual work. When the same task was attempted with an AI agent, it produced results quickly, but missed many cases and data sources. 1/2

A sabbatical is often seen as a time to produce—finish papers, push projects forward. But it can also be a chance to step back, reframe your goals, and rethink how you want to work, via the Dynamic Ecology blog #AcademicSky

A researcher reflects on the moment their university email was set to be deactivated after a temporary contract ended. After years moving between short-term positions, the loss of that address felt like losing a piece of professional identity, via @science.org www.science.org/content/arti...

Routine research and teaching tasks become high-friction when you have to remember the steps each time. Writing down the steps for repeatable tasks saves energy and keeps you from solving the same problems every semester, so you can focus on the work that matters, via @jennmcclearen.bsky.social

✍️ Academic writing tip: Your introduction isn’t a summary of everything ever published. Its job is to clarify the conversation, identify the gap, and make your research question feel necessary. That requires interpretation, not a catalog of studies.

Reading is often the most enjoyable part of academic work, and it makes your writing better by default. But it’s easy for reading to get squeezed out by teaching, meetings, and admin. 💡 Tip: Schedule time each week to keep up with the literature, and set reading goals. #AcademicSky

In academia, hierarchy becomes habit: faculty as “knowledge producers,” staff as “knowledge supporters.” Those in positions of power should examine how existing structures may render nonfaculty contributions invisible, via @science.org #AcademicSky www.science.org/content/arti...

There’s a quiet myth in the sciences that competence equals being good at formal math. In reality, many people reason through code, systems, and visuals rather than equations.

💡 Tip for collaborative research: Take the conversation on a walk. Instead of sitting across from each other in an office, discuss open questions while walking with a colleague. 💬 Ideas flow more easily when the setting is informal. #AcademicSky

While AI can produce descriptive reviews, it still fails significantly in two areas that define high-quality research: finding all the relevant papers, and handling broad, cross-disciplinary questions that require interpretive leaps, via @aarontay.bsky.social aarontay.substack.com/p/are-ai-too...

In science, ideas are currency. They’re shared in hallways, at conferences, in peer review. And sometimes, they reappear—published by someone else first. What do you do when you share an idea with another scientist… and they publish it before you?

Using AI well is about clear thinking: knowing what you want, saying it precisely, staying skeptical of confident-sounding output, and understanding the domain you’re working in. AI expands what’s possible, but it doesn’t replace judgment, via @togelius.bsky.social
