The whole study package
One primary manuscript plus PDF or CSV supplements. Context matters, especially when Table 2 and Appendix C have stopped speaking to each other.
Statistical manuscript review, with fewer robes
Your statistics look confident.
We check whether they deserve to.
Upload a manuscript and its PDF or CSV supplements. Error Barbarian reads the text, tables and figures together, recalculates what can be checked, and returns a plain-English report with exact quotations, page citations and visible limitations.
Private testing is invitation-only. The suspicious eyebrow is included.
01 / The assignment
A careful reader with a calculator and trust issues
The review follows the paper's evidence trail instead of handing out mysterious red flags.
Numbers, methods and claims
Counts, percentages, effect estimates, p-values, uncertainty, methods, captions, axes and conclusions all get a closer look.
Across text, tables and figures
The review looks for internal and cross-file inconsistencies, including results that change outfits between prose, plots and supplements.
02 / The return package
Receipts attached
Where it came from
Exact source quotations and page locations sit beside every retained finding.
How it was checked
Supported calculations and verification status stay visible. The reviewer tests credible alternative explanations and reports material limitations.
Why it matters
Plain-English explanations separate consequential problems from awkward but harmless reporting.
What remains uncertain
Missing evidence and incomplete checks become explicit limitations, not debris swept under a very scientific rug.
03 / Optional backup
One Barbarian good. Two, when needed.
Add an independent whole-report double check. The second review challenges the first, looks for alternative explanations and marks only retained findings as independently confirmed. A focused recheck can examine one finding later without rewriting the original report.
Fine print, written in normal-sized print
Sharp tool. Not an oracle.
Error Barbarian screens the documents you provide. It does not reproduce analyses from unprovided raw data and code, replace a statistician, or prove that a manuscript is error-free.
Source files are encrypted and access-controlled in the app, and retained until you delete the study.
