PAT produces a text version and a machine-readable version of the paper so that all the information can be extracted without the need for human annotation. It can also be used to design studies and annotate existing study reports.

The Paper Authoring Tool is a free online tool that is designed to ensure that reports of trials and feasibility studies include all the information required and link all the constructs in the paper, where possible, to ontology classes.

🛠️ What’s new in this version? ✅ Refinements based on peer review ✅ Improved alignment with other lower-level ontologies in the Behaviour Change Intervention Ontology ✅ Enhanced representation of behavioural constructs from theories of behaviour and behaviour change

💡 Why this matters? Understanding and integrating behavioural evidence across disciplines has been limited by fragmented classification systems. The HBO offers an extensive, computer-readable framework to clearly and consistently describe and synthesise evidence about human behaviours.
