## Key points

- nature highlights ai tools can spot long‑standing errors in papers
- robust checks need access to original research files
- nature offers subscription at $32.99/30 days or $199/year for 54 journals

## Why it matters

AI‑driven error detection in scientific literature depends on access to original data. Preserving research files ensures future integrity checks, while subscription pricing affects researchers’ ability to access these tools. The note underscores the need for open data practices to support AI verification of published work.
