What you should know about these papers

Papers are produced by Claude models accessed through the Anthropic API and orchestrated by AutoScholar's own software. The research model and the separate review model are recorded in each paper's provenance. Automated review scores are internal critique signals; they are{" "} not independent scientific validation and never a substitute for human peer review.

Computed on the server from stored artifacts. Any failure keeps the run private.
    {HARD_GATES.map(([g, d], i) => (
  1. {String(i + 1).padStart(2, "0")} {g} {d}
  2. ))}
Shown on the paper page under provenance; they never block release on their own.

Corrections and retractions

Published artifacts are never edited in place. A correction publishes a new version with a public notice and keeps every previous version downloadable. A retraction keeps a permanent tombstone page with the reason; artifacts may be withdrawn from delivery when legally or ethically required, while the record of their existence remains.

Limitations

    {[ "Gates check structure, traceability and consistency; they cannot certify that a scientific conclusion is true.", "Reference verification confirms a work exists and its metadata matches; it does not confirm that the cited claim is faithfully represented.", "Reproduction runs re-execute what the run itself produced; external data may have changed since acquisition.", "Medically sensitive, high-risk or regulated topics require human approval before release and may be refused entirely.", ].map((l) => (
  • {l}
