How to use Agentic Evidence & Writing
PaperQA-style answers over full texts
An agent that reads the full texts in your project, gathers supporting passages and writes an answer where every sentence carries its evidence.
Before you start
- • A signed-in SciExpert account
Steps
- 1
Open Agentic Evidence & Writing
From the workspace sidebar choose Agentic Evidence & Writing. On a phone, open the All menu and tap Agentic Evidence & Writing.
- 2
Set up your inputs
An agent that reads the full texts in your project, gathers supporting passages and writes an answer where every sentence carries its evidence. Start with the smallest realistic input so you can check the output before scaling up.
- 3
Run it
Run the tool and check the first output: retrieval over full texts, not just abstracts.
- 4
Review what came back
Work through the results: evidence passages shown beside each claim; answers refuse to go beyond the retrieved text; draft sections built from the gathered evidence.
- 5
Save or export
Save the configuration as a preset if you will repeat it, and export the output when you need it outside SciExpert. Your inputs persist across refreshes and sign-ins.
Tips
- • Start with a small input, verify the output, then scale up.
- • Save a preset once the configuration works so you can reuse it across papers.
Troubleshooting
Nothing happens when I run it
Check that every required field is filled and that your plan includes this service — locked services show a padlock in the sidebar.
The output is not what I expected
Reduce the input to a single item, confirm the result is correct, then add the rest back gradually.
