It's like Gmail for your papers - a modern reference manager. We love papers and post about publishing, academic productivity and everything related.
We built a free tool to check your bibliography before you submit your manuscript for publication. Along the way, we ran experiments to understand what actually causes AI to hallucinate citations, and which references are most at risk.

OneDrive sync is here, in private beta. 🌟 Sync your Paperpile library, including PDFs and supplementary files automatically to a Paperpile folder in your OneDrive. Works alongside Google Drive if you use both.
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.
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
Did you know? Paperpile now integrates with OpenEvidence. 💫 You can save papers directly from OpenEvidence to your Paperpile library with just one click using the browser extension.
Paperpile's first AI-native integration lets you send PDFs directly to ChatGPT, NotebookLM, or any supported AI assistant — right from your library 💫 Find the key quotation or data point that unlocks the next step in your research.

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
We're currently experiencing a server outage, and we're sorry for the disruption. Our team is working to get things back up as soon as possible. We'll keep you updated.
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.

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...
Hallucinated citations are polluting the scientific literature. What can be done?
Tens of thousands of publications from 2025 might include invalid references generated by AI, a Nature analysis suggests.

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
