Metadata helps place research results in context and enables the analysis of research results across publications.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-do-we-need-metadatanbsp\">Why do we need metadata? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s examine a hypothetical scenario to illustrate the critical role played by metadata in modern-day research dissemination. Imagine a database of literary arts that contains research results on volumes of literature published in different forms. Suppose a reader finds a data point indicating that 5% of published poetry is in the form of social media posts. The reader now wishes to know when this data point was obtained. By examining the associated metadata, the reader finds that the data point was published in 2010. Thus, the reader can safely assume that the percentage of poetry published as social media posts in 2022 is much higher than 5%. The best part is that the consumer of metadata need not necessarily be a human: a machine or algorithm can scan and analyze information effectively with the help of metadata!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"preflights-metadata-checksnbsp\">Preflight\u2019s Metadata checks <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paperpal Preflight is an AI-based pre-submission tool advocated by more than 300 academic publications worldwide.
