Paperguide

A closer look at Paperguide

Paperguide presents reference management, evidence-table extraction and systematic-review workflows. Its free tier lists recurring monthly credits with extraction limits. Paid plan cards show per-seat monthly equivalents billed annually. Planned image/table extraction and announced compliance work must not be described as completed.

Editorial guidance based on published documentation. The workflow below is a suggested starting point, not a measured product result.

When to choose Paperguide

• A reviewer needs reference management with Zotero or Mendeley imports.
• A team runs systematic reviews with dual-reviewer screening.
• A researcher extracts evidence tables to CSV or Excel.

When to choose something else

• The workflow depends on image and table extraction today; it is coming soon.
• The requirement is certified compliance rather than announced plans.

A practical starting workflow

1. Import references from Zotero or Mendeley.
2. Set up the review with independent screening by two reviewers.
3. Extract data into evidence tables and export to CSV or Excel.
4. Track monthly AI credit usage against the free allowance.
5. Confirm the billing period before choosing a paid plan.

Check before committing

• Image and table extraction is labelled coming soon; do not count it as available.
• Announced compliance work must not be described as completed.
• Paid plan cards show per-seat monthly equivalents billed annually, not month-to-month prices.
