Processing time can vary depending on several factors:
Document Size
Larger files with extensive text, images, or embedded data take longer to process.
Document Complexity
Papers with dense academic language, multiple columns, or complex formatting may require additional processing time.
Scanned PDFs or Image-Based Documents
Consider converting the document into a machine-readable format before uploading.
Internet Connection & System Load
Slow internet speeds or high server demand can occasionally cause processing delays.
What You Can Do:
Wait a Few Minutes – Some documents naturally take longer to process.
Re-upload the Document – If the process seems stuck, try uploading the file again.
Optimize Your PDF – Convert scanned documents to text-based PDFs before uploading.
Check Your Internet Connection – Ensure a stable connection for smoother processing.
Contact Support – If delays persist beyond a reasonable timeframe, reach out to ResearchCollab Support for assistance.
Most documents should process quickly, but if excessive delays occur, troubleshooting these factors can help speed up the process.
