Gistify

The scientific gist of a paper, with every claim held to the page.

Drop in a PDF. Gistify writes its gist in the six parts of the QDAFI(P) method, then a second, independent reader checks each statement against the paper, and the program looks for every quote and number on the page it cites.

  1. QQuestionWhat the paper set out to answer, in plain words.
  2. DDataWhat the authors did: what they measured, as a function of what they varied.
  3. ARationaleThe assumptions that link the question to the data.
  4. FFindingsThe main result that the data and rationale set up.
  5. IInterpretationHow the findings answer the question, and the alternative when a confound gets in the way.
  6. PPotential problemsFlaws in design, analysis and reasoning, including the ones the authors did not raise.

Highlighted means found in the paper. Every quote in a gist links to its page, and anything the program could not find is marked, never hidden.
