Q: My result is not significant. Did I do something wrong?

Not significant is not the same as "there is no effect", and it does not mean your analysis is broken: it means your sample cannot rule out chance. The reading tells you what you can and cannot claim, and whether the issue is power rather than data.

Q: Does it invent numbers that are not in my output?

No. Every figure in the answer has to appear in what you pasted. If something is missing, it is flagged in brackets instead of filled in. The only exception is an effect size that follows exactly from your own figures: then it is calculated and you are told with which formula.

Q: Does it work with SPSS, R, jamovi, JASP, Stata or any other software?

Yes. Copy the output as it is, paste it into a Word file (or export the result to PDF) and upload that file. It does not matter if the table comes out misaligned: it almost always does, and the tool expects that. And if what you have is a screenshot, that works too: upload it as it is or paste it with Ctrl+V. The only thing that still will not work is a scanned PDF.

Q: What if I am not sure the test I ran is the right one?

The reading tells you which analysis it recognises and which assumptions are worth checking, but it does not decide your design. If that is the real doubt, the AI paper reviewer reads the whole manuscript and tells you whether the analysis matches your aims.

Q: Is my output stored?

No. The text, and the screenshot if you upload one, go through the AI call and are not stored or used to train anything. What we do record, anonymously and without a single line of your text, is the diagnosis: which analysis it was, which software, which sample-size band and which kinds of problem showed up. That is how we learn what actually goes wrong in psychology research. Nothing of your work is kept. Only your email is stored, and only if you choose to leave it to receive the report.

Q: Is it really free?

Yes, entirely. This tool has no paid tier: it is the way in to the rest.

Question 1

My output says Sig. = .000. What do I report?

Accepted Answer

Never p = .000, because a p value is never exactly zero: it is written p < .001. It is one of the most common slips when copying from SPSS, and the tool hands you the sentence already corrected.

Question 2

My result is not significant. Did I do something wrong?

Accepted Answer

Not significant is not the same as "there is no effect", and it does not mean your analysis is broken: it means your sample cannot rule out chance. The reading tells you what you can and cannot claim, and whether the issue is power rather than data.
