About
About SciSpace
The PDF is the interface
SciSpace helps when you already have the paper and the bottleneck is understanding — dense methods, statistics jargon, unfamiliar field conventions.
Reading ritual
Upload → ask “what is the main claim?” → ask “what would falsify this?” → capture notes in your reference manager. Chat is a tutor, not a substitute for reading critical charts yourself.
Ecosystem
Connected Papers / ResearchRabbit to find what to read; Elicit for multi-paper tables; Consensus for claim-oriented Q&A.
