Prism is a LaTeX-native research workspace with GPT-5.2 built-in. Draft sections, refine language, manage citations and collaborate in one place. Inline suggestions, smart summaries and template support help teams move from idea to submission faster—without leaving the LaTeX environment researchers prefer.

How Prism Works (in practice)

• LaTeX-native editor: Write with full LaTeX support, project structure, and templates for common venues.

• GPT-5.2 assistance: Generate outlines, rewrite paragraphs, clarify methods, and propose alternative phrasings—always keeping LaTeX syntax intact.

• Citations & refs: Insert and validate BibTeX/CSL entries, deduplicate refs, and check citation style against target journal.

• Collaboration: Commenting, tracked changes, and section-level permissions across authors, advisors and reviewers.

• Reproducibility hooks: Attach notebooks/data; auto-generate method summaries and figure captions; export an artefact checklist.

Practical Setup (Step-by-Step)

1. Start a project
   Choose a venue template (thesis, arXiv, IEEE/ACM, journal). Import existing .tex and .bib files.

2. Plan with GPT-5.2
   Ask for a structured outline, section objectives and a table of contributions; pin style (formal, concise, UK spelling).

3. Draft & refine
   Write in short passes; use inline suggestions for clarity, tone and cohesion. Convert bullet notes into paragraphs with citations.

4. Manage citations
   Upload your .bib; run duplicate/format checks; insert placeholders (\citep/\citet) and let Prism suggest missing seminal works.

5. Collaborate & review
   Invite co-authors; enable tracked changes; set review checklists (claims, methods, data availability, limitations). Resolve comments before freeze.

6. Export & submit
   Build to PDF; export source; generate submission pack (cover letter, highlights, response-to-reviewers template).

Example Workflows

• Methods polish: Provide lab notes; GPT-5.2 drafts a reproducible methods section with parameter tables.

• Abstract tightening: Turn a 250-word draft into a 150-word structured abstract (aim, method, result, impact).

• Reviewer response pack: Summarise reviewer points, link to diffs, and propose courteous replies with citations.

Risks & Good Practice

• Factual accuracy: Require source citations for claims; avoid invented references; keep human verification mandatory.

• Plagiarism & originality: Run similarity checks; paraphrase responsibly; attribute prior work.

• Data sensitivity: Strip personal data; respect embargoes; store datasets securely; include ethics statements.

• LaTeX hygiene: Validate builds, resolve package conflicts, and keep project structure tidy.

FAQs

How does Prism improve collaboration?
It centralises LaTeX authoring, comments and AI-assisted edits, so teams iterate faster with clear version history and permissions.

What’s the advantage of GPT-5.2 in Prism?
High-quality language refinement, outline generation and reviewer-response drafting—delivered inline, while preserving LaTeX markup.

Is Prism suitable for all research fields?
Yes. Templates and citation styles support a broad range of disciplines; teams can add their own macros and packages.
