Paper Analyzer

A structured methodology for critical paper analysis. The goal is not summarization — it's understanding what a paper actually demonstrates (which may differ from what it claims), extracting the numbers that matter, and connecting findings to your research framework.

When to Use

• User gives an arXiv ID, URL, or paper title and wants deep analysis
• User is building a related work section and needs to understand a specific paper's contribution
• User wants to evaluate whether a paper supports or challenges their hypothesis

Workflow

Step 1: Obtain the Paper and Set Up NotebookLM

The primary reading channel is NotebookLM — it provides source-grounded answers from Gemini, handles tables/figures reliably, and supports iterative deep questioning. Every paper analyzed should end up in NotebookLM.
