Feature Deep Dive

Not Just What a Paper Says — But How Well It Says It

Research Guru’s Critical Review feature goes beyond summary or extraction. It evaluates the intellectual quality of academic papers — examining argument structure, methodological soundness, ethical completeness, and real-world relevance. It’s like having a peer reviewer, built into your workflow.

Academic Soundness

Assesses theoretical contributions, validity of claims, use of evidence, and consistency of terminology across the document.

Ethical Gaps & Blind Spots

Flags omissions in fairness, transparency, bias, or privacy — especially in AI and data-driven studies.

Constructive Recommendations

Provides actionable insights to strengthen the paper — from adding case studies to clarifying cross-disciplinary logic.

How Critical Review Works

  • Reads full-text papers across disciplines
  • Evaluates 10+ scholarly quality dimensions
  • Flags methodological gaps or ethical omissions
  • Suggests improvements based on field expectations
