Thanks @InVivoPodOnX for pointing @paulbloomatyale our way. QED takes a different approach: rather than asking AI to review a paper as a whole, it breaks the paper into individual claims and interrogates the evidence for each. We’d love for Paul to try it.

Dr. Bloom, may I suggest my chat regarding this exact topic with @OdedRechavi who runs @qed (AI review platform). piped.video/Vhj3s4Dha8g

Not a replacement for peer review. Another rigorous perspective on the work. That’s why we built QED Science. @ScienceMagazine on the promises and pitfalls of AI review: science.org/content/article/…

“I had a more rigorous, attentive, constructive, and useful experience with QED than with many of my peer reviewers in my 35-plus years submitting papers.” Prof. @drmichaellevin from Tufts talks about his experience augmenting peer review with QED Science in this latest feature from @ScienceMagazine. tinyurl.com/5n6bewkv

New @ScienceMagazine feature: About a quarter of AI’s criticisms are missed by human reviewers. Does that mean we should trust AI to replace human judgement? Only if it’s fit for purpose. In "Ready for the Robot Reviewers?", Science gets real about the current state of AI in peer review. tinyurl.com/5n6bewkv

"If the AI didn't get it, maybe my reviewer won't get it." - Prof. Barak Rotblat Not AI as authority. AI as a way to expose where your argument is clearer in your head than on the page. 🎙 Full webinar →bit.ly/4giP5Pu

He ran Blogger for half a billion readers a month at Google. Now Guy Ronen, QED's VP of Product, is tackling something harder: "We want to help scientists validate research and push scientific discovery forward," he told @pulse2news . He talks accuracy, patented review engine, and why the academic tools stay free. → tinyurl.com/34suy8dh (Insights Feed launches soon 👀)

We asked webinar attendees which AI tools they use for grant review.* 52% ChatGPT · 40% Claude · 33% QED Science · 17% Gemini. Researchers aren't picking one tool. They're building their own mix. Full summary → tinyurl.com/3aa78jf5 *Multiple answers allowed.

What if the biggest problem in peer review is what never makes it into the paper? Our CEO @nivmast on @tv10israel failed experiments, missing controls, incomplete evidence, and why scientific review needs a fuller picture. That’s what QED Science is working to address. 🎥👇

Happy to see the results of our cooperation with @eLife. In the pilot, eLife reviewers used QED’s claim-mapping technology and rated ~80% of the comment-to-claim assignments as accurate. Clear evidence that structured AI and expert judgment can work together for more transparent, rigorous research evaluation.
Today, we’re pleased to share an overview of the partnerships we’re involved in to harness AI for improving research engagement. elifesciences.org/inside-eli…

The closer you are to your grant proposal, the harder it is to see what a reviewer will catch. Join our free webinar on Aug 20 to spot gaps in logic, unclear framing & unsupported claims before submission.

@Nature sat down with our co-founder Niv Mastboim and asked the question many researchers are asking: Can an AI actually judge whether a scientific claim holds up? His answer: yes, if it’s trained to spot weak evidence as well as strong. Null results, failed replications, contradictions… not just what gets published. In a blind test, experts agreed with our calls 75% of the time on the toughest comparisons.bit.ly/4wj2Xhk @nivmast @OdedRechavi
