Everything you need to know about review.fun.
- How does review.fun work?
- Upload your academic paper as a PDF and our AI reads the full text, then returns a concise summary and pointed feedback — just like a human peer reviewer would.
- What disciplines do you support?
- Any field — computer science, biology, medicine, economics, humanities, and more. The AI adapts its feedback to your paper's subject area.
- How much does it cost?
- You get 10 free reviews on signup, no credit card required. After that it's $1 per 10-page unit, with bulk discounts up to 40% off.
- Is my paper kept private?
- Yes. We never store your uploaded papers or generated reviews. Your PDF is processed and automatically deleted — nothing is kept after your review is complete.
- How long does a review take?
- Most reviews finish in under a minute, even for longer papers.
- Is AI peer review a replacement for human reviewers?
- No — it's a complement, not a substitute. AI peer review is great for catching structural weaknesses, unclear arguments, and gaps in reasoning before you submit. Think of it as a rigorous first pass that helps you go into formal peer review with a stronger manuscript. The goal is fewer rounds of revision, not skipping the process.
- How is review.fun different from asking ChatGPT to review my paper?
- review.fun is built on a multi-stage pipeline with specialized prompts, document parsing, and structured output — engineered specifically for academic peer review. ChatGPT gives you a generic conversation; we give you targeted, reviewer-style feedback out of the box.
- What AI model does review.fun use?
- We use top-tier large language models chosen for their strength in careful reasoning and nuanced writing analysis. We regularly evaluate newer models to ensure review quality stays as high as possible.
- Can I use review.fun for my thesis or dissertation?
- Absolutely. Upload your thesis as a PDF and get feedback on structure, argument clarity, and potential weaknesses — useful at any stage of writing.
- Can I review a preprint before submitting to a journal?
- Yes — that's one of the most common use cases. Get a quick sanity check on your preprint before it goes to formal peer review.
- Does review.fun work for grant proposals or conference papers?
- Yes. Any academic document in PDF format can be reviewed, including grant proposals, conference submissions, and working papers.
- How accurate is AI peer review?
- AI review excels at spotting structural issues, unclear arguments, and missing context. It won't replace deep domain expertise, but it catches the things a careful first reader would flag.
- What kind of feedback will I get?
- You'll receive a brief summary of your paper followed by pointed bullet-point feedback — the same format a busy human reviewer would use. No fluff, just the critical points.
- Is it ethical to use AI peer review?
- Absolutely. Researchers already use tools like Grammarly, reference managers, and statistical software to improve their work — AI feedback is the same idea applied to the review process. It doesn't write or change anything for you; it points out where your arguments could be sharper. Journals care about the quality of what you submit, and showing up with a tighter manuscript benefits everyone.
- What file formats do you accept?
- We accept PDF files up to 30 MB. If your paper is in Word or LaTeX, export it as a PDF first.
- Is there a word or page limit?
- Papers can be up to 100 pages. Longer papers simply use more credits — one credit covers up to 10 pages, so a 25-page paper uses 3 credits.
