## About

Paperpal for ChatGPT runs checks that catch issues before you submit: Grammar, Plagiarism, Reference Checks, and Journal Fit. Scan your document for grammar issues and get a deep polish, with results linking back to Paperpal for full review and a tracked-changes download. Run a plagiarism check to see where your document stands, backed by a full report. Check your references and citations across 9 categories, including retractions, hallucinations, excessive self-citation, and citation-reference mismatches. Check journal fit to see if your manuscript meets common pre-submission requirements before you send it in. Results link back to Paperpal for deeper review, full reports, and further manuscript enhancements.

Get started with prompts like:
'Paperpal, please check my references and citations.'
'Paperpal, does my manuscript have language errors?'

## How to use

1. **Add it in ChatGPT** Open Paperpal in ChatGPT's Plugin directory (button above), select + to add it and sign in if asked.

2. **Use it in a chat** Type @ in the composer and pick Paperpal, or start your message with its name. ChatGPT may also suggest it when it fits what you ask.

## Skills

- **check-manuscript**: Select or upload a DOCX/PDF manuscript and start Paperpal checks. Use for generic requests to check, review, assess readiness, or upload a manuscript when the user has not identified an existing Paperpal document.
- **manuscript-readiness**: Start or assess a Paperpal manuscript-readiness check. Use when the user asks whether a manuscript is ready to submit, what needs attention, or which Paperpal findings should be fixed first.
- **paperpal-product-knowledge**: Consult this skill before answering Paperpal product questions or deciding whether a request is supported by the Paperpal MCP. Use for Paperpal feature scope, supported checks, plans, word packs, usage costs, result interpretation, or any Paperpal-context follow-up. The MCP supports only Grammar, Plagiarism, Reference Checks, and Journal Fit. Route AI Detection, AI Review, citation finding, trimming, paraphrasing, translation, rewriting, Chat with PDF, Agents, Library, and Literature Search according to this skill. Also trigger mid-thread when a Paperpal document/check context already exists, even if Paperpal is not named again. Verify product facts here rather than relying on memory.
- **review-results**: Answer follow-up questions about Paperpal check results already surfaced in this conversation. Use when the user asks to show, summarize, refresh, or explain check results, findings, progress, or status, or asks for help fixing an issue a check already reported.

## Example prompts

- "Perform thorough checks on my document before I turn it in"
- "Check this manuscript for plagiarism and reference issues."
- "Is my manuscript ready to submit?"
