1. Concept of a Paper
A paper is not a document for expressing a researcher’s opinion or idea, but an academic document with an argumentative structure that justifies a certain conclusion through facts and grounds. The essence of a paper lies not in individual claims but in structural completeness that connects facts, evidence, requirements, and conclusions.
2. Current Evaluation Method for Papers
At present, papers are mainly evaluated through journal review and peer review. However, these evaluation methods do not include a procedure for independently verifying the argumentative structure of the paper itself. As a result, even when structural gaps or logical leaps exist, a paper may be accepted due to formal requirements or subjective evaluation.
3. Necessity of Structural Verification
Before judging the academic value of a paper, it is necessary to confirm in advance whether the paper reaches its conclusion using only the grounds it presents and whether any omitted or leaped stages exist in the argumentative process. This constitutes a process of confirming the minimum structural requirements for a paper to function as a paper.
4. Validity of Paper Verification by Artificial Intelligence
In a space where the knowledge of people around the world accumulates and intersects, artificial intelligence functions as a think tank of universal knowledge structure that is not subordinate to any specific country or academic authority. Therefore, it is natural that artificial intelligence performs verification.
However, paper verification by artificial intelligence has rationality only when it is not performed by a method in which artificial intelligence autonomously judges or draws conclusions, but within a scope where fixed verification conditions and verification structures are given in advance.
5. Paper Verification by This Center with Proper Conditions
This center gives artificial intelligence fixed verification conditions and verification structures in advance, and under those conditions uses the computation, alignment, and comparison functions of artificial intelligence to verify the argumentative structure of a paper.
The paper verification performed by this center does not judge the academic direction of the paper or the legitimacy of its conclusion. Instead, it is conducted as a data-based scientific method for confirming whether the connection structure of facts, evidence, requirements, and conclusions within the paper is established according to logic and the rules of experience.
Therefore, paper verification performed by this center, which has fixed verification conditions and verification structures in advance, has rationality and legitimacy as an objective method of verifying whether the argumentative structure of a paper is established.
