Safeguarding Research: How Paperpal Keeps Your Data Secure

In the competitive world of research, it is critical to produce high-quality work while safeguarding research from potential intellectual theft. Research data protection is important for researchers who spend many gruelling hours at work in the lab or on the field to ensure their hard work is secure in the months leading up to publication. Here, the decision to have your ideas, experimental data, and results seen by others can be nerve-wracking due to the risk of it being misused, duplicated, or misrepresented, all of which can damage your reputation in the field.

At Paperpal, we recognize the need for confidentiality and are committed to ensuring 100% research data protection. We have taken several measures in safeguarding research manuscripts submitted to our platform until publication so it can be correctly attributed to you and your colleagues.

How Paperpal ensures your research data is secure

• Encryption: All data is encrypted during transmission and storage using 256-bit encryption. This means that your data is maintained in an unreadable format, making it difficult for unauthorized individuals to access the information.
• Secure servers: Our web servers use the strongest grade of HTTPS security (TLS 1.2) so that requests are protected from intermediate attacks. We also store all data in secure SSAE 16/SOC1-certified data centers that comply with the latest research data security standards.
• Robust security infrastructure: Data from our products are stored within the world’s most trusted cloud computing platform – Amazon Web Services (RDS & S3), which uses comprehensive physical security measures, including biometric checks, laser beam intrusion detection, camera surveillance, and 24×7 trained security guards.
• Strict confidentiality and access controls: Paperpal has strict access controls in place to ensure that only authorized personnel can access the data. All employees sign a comprehensive non-disclosure agreement and only a limited number of personnel have access to user data.
