ZeroPaper: An Autonomous Research System

Summary

Companion paper to the catalogued zeropaper pipeline, dated 1 May 2026. The system takes a research domain as input and produces a publication-candidate manuscript with no human intervention between launch and completion: ten numbered stages, six adversarial gates, about thirty specialised agents, and finished LaTeX for economics at roughly two dollars per paper amortised under a flat-fee Claude Code Max subscription.

Relevance to RISE

The paper behind a landscape entry that previously had no bib record. Also the first place this knowledge base records the pipeline's cost per paper, which bears directly on the submission-congestion argument in the IS editorials.
