Turn academic research into public understanding.
OpenProof converts academic papers into author-reviewable mini-sites with plain-language summaries, audience explainers, data links, social slides, and PR kits.
The problem
The paper is essential. But it is not enough.
Academic papers are built for the scholarly record, not broad understanding. For most readers, the PDF is where comprehension stops.
Papers hide the public meaning
Most readers can't quickly answer what a study found, why it matters, what evidence supports it, or what shouldn't be overclaimed.
Research communication is fragmented
After publication, the work scatters across a PDF, a journal page, a press release, social threads, slides, and data repos.
Generic AI summaries aren't enough
They remove nuance, exaggerate findings, and detach claims from evidence. Research deserves something more careful.
What OpenProof creates
One paper. A complete public research destination.
Each OpenProof artifact assembles the summaries, evidence, caveats, data links, and communication assets needed to share findings responsibly.
Research Mini-Site
A public web destination for the study, with summary, findings, methods, limitations, and data.

Different doors for public readers, journalists, students, funders, practitioners, and experts.

Build a PR kitHow it works
From PDF to public research page.
A source-grounded pipeline that keeps authors in control at every step.
Step 01
Upload or link the research
PDF, DOI, arXiv, PubMed, bioRxiv/medRxiv, a journal URL, plus any data or code links.
Step 02
OpenProof extracts the structure
Title, authors, methods, findings, figures, citations, limitations, and key claims.
Step 03
Generate audience-ready artifacts
Mini-site, summary layers, figure explainers, PR kit, social slides, and a data section.
Step 04
Authors review and publish
Approve sections, edit language, lock sensitive claims, then publish publicly or privately.
AI-assisted. Source-grounded. Author-reviewed.
We make caveats as visible as conclusions.
OpenProof is built against careless AI summarization. Claims stay tied to evidence, limitations ship by default, and authors approve the public language.
Every major claim traces back to a paper section, figure, table, dataset, method, or citation.
Each page states the study's limits and the conclusions it does not support.
Availability, licenses, and reproduction notes are surfaced, not buried.
Simplified or AI-generated graphics are clearly distinguished from original figures.
Built for every audience research needs to reach
