A human-AI co-exploration system, PaperBridge, assists researchers in structuring and articulating narratives from their published work, moving beyond quantitative metrics to content-driven storytelling. It demonstrates excellent usability and helps users efficiently explore diverse perspectives for their research, fostering new insights into their scholarly contributions.

Key insights

  • Academic storytelling relies on three core elements: a narrative framework, a defined perspective (contribution statement and clusters), and a justifying rationale.
  • Four distinct narrative frameworks (Parallel, Linear, Coordinate, Circular) and rhetorical strategies (Ethos, Pathos, Logos) effectively structure and articulate research narratives.
  • Human-AI co-exploration, leveraging LLMs to generate 'sparks' and enabling iterative refinement, aids researchers in discovering new perspectives on their own work and fostering deeper reflection.
