How can we determine whether published research is methodologically sound and likely to be true? Can we trust every peer-reviewed article we read? Joining us to share her thoughts on this complex topic is Nicole Kargin, the founder of ResearchDoc AI.

Nicole attends the University of Austin, a startup university where she is currently a sophomore and a member of the founding class. There, she launched ResearchDoc AI, a company built on the belief that the global replication crisis is a direct result of a broken scientific publication system – and that AI-powered quality assessment can help solve it…

This conversation covers:

What makes ResearchDoc AI the "credit score" of academic publications.
How citations can create the illusion of credibility.
Problems associated with the current peer-review process.
How to overcome the replication crisis.

Follow along with Nicole and her work on LinkedIn, Twitter, and the Research Doc AI website!
