Questions about this workflow
Does this find sources for every submission?
It runs when the selected assignment receives a new submission. Notis can summarize search results related to the submission content available to it.
Does it decide whether a paper is academically valid?
No. It returns search leads for a person to review; relevance and quality still need to be checked.
