Base Papers
Your base papers set the benchmark you are expected to beat. We identify recent, indexed and reproducible papers, then analyse what each did, what it missed and where your work can improve on it.
What is included
- Search across Scopus, Web of Science and IEEE Xplore
- Selection by recency, indexing and reproducibility
- Structured summaries covering method, data, results and limits
- A comparison table and a list of improvement opportunities
What you receive
- Annotated set of base papers
- Comparison matrix
- List of open gaps to address
How we work
- Brief. You share your field, stage and goal. We confirm a matching specialist.
- Plan. We agree scope, timeline and checkpoints before work starts.
- Build with review. You see progress at each checkpoint and give feedback.
- Handover. You receive the files, a walkthrough and support for follow-up questions.
Common question
Do the base papers have to be Q1?
Not always, but reviewers at your target journal compare you with its recent papers, so we weigh venue and recency together.
