FAQs

BetterPapers employs the advanced algorithms of DORIS (Diagnosis Of Reporting Errors In Scraped Tables) to meticulously analyze statistical tables in your documents. Our tool checks for common errors and inconsistencies in statistical reporting. Developed as part of a comprehensive research initiative, DORIS has been rigorously tested with a dataset comprising over 600,000 hypothesis tests from leading economics journals, ensuring reliable and precise analysis.
How does BetterPapers ensure the accuracy of its statistical analysis?
Currently, BetterPapers is optimized to work seamlessly with LaTeX and HTML formats, which are widely used in academic and research communities. We are focused on providing the most accurate analysis for these formats. However, we are continually looking to expand our capabilities. Stay tuned for updates on additional format support in the future.
Can BetterPapers handle documents in formats other than LaTeX and HTML?
BetterPapers is designed to efficiently handle documents of various sizes. However, for optimal performance and quicker results, we recommend that each document uploaded should not exceed a specific size (e.g., 10 MB). The tool can analyze multiple tables within a document, but extremely large documents with numerous tables may require additional processing time. If you encounter any issues with larger files, please contact our support team for assistance.
Is there a limit to the size or number of tables BetterPapers can analyze in a single document?
