Step 0101 / 07
Tell us what you want to study.
Describe your direction, the problem and the work you have already done. Upload materials individually with a description of their purpose. PDF, Word, Markdown and ZIP are supported.

Step 0202 / 07
Match the application to your question.
PaperX recommends research fields and application codes from your ideas and materials. Adjust the selection and confirm it before developing the plan.
Direction review
Match the research object, question and methodological scope.

Step 0303 / 07
What will you study—and how will you judge it?
Organize questions, hypotheses, objectives, tasks and methods alongside preliminary work and risks. Review a full proposed plan, edit it directly or describe the changes you want.
Research plan
Research question → tasks → methods and validation.

Step 0404 / 07
Return to the evidence behind the argument.
Import from your reading library, search for literature or upload your own papers. Confirm the list, then obtain available full texts and read source passages for the proposal.
Evidence organization
Connect references and source passages to research claims.

The content comes first. The figure follows.
The model reads the draft and plans and generates figures automatically, without a layout menu. A simulated review identifies issues in the argument and evidence for you to address.

A few things to know before starting
Which model does PaperX use?
PaperX connects to the model selected in your current WorkBuddy or Codex conversation. Automatic submission requires host support and an active connection. Task status is visible in the workspace.
What do I need to confirm?
Review your research field, application codes, plan and references. Check the generated draft, figures and citations, and complete a final review against the actual application requirements.
Is Qingyan an official NSFC platform?
Qingyan is the project intelligence module in PaperX. It searches and analyzes its currently available collection. It is not an official NSFC platform; verify project details, eligibility and requirements with the original sources.
Can I export the application?
Yes. Review the complete proposal in the full preview and export Word or PDF. Check figures, citations and the remaining content before using it as your final version.
