Leave the method section when the detector redraws the spans
When a detector redraws its highlight map, the method section is the part that should stay put. Numbers, reagent names, and the order of steps are claims. Rewriting them because a nearby paragraph lit up usually changes the study you meant to describe.
Export the file. Leave the method, the tables, and the reference list frozen. Then revise only the continuous-prose spans the report marked, and read the argument again to confirm it still matches the method you kept. That is document-level polish, the job HumanPen (https://humanpen.net) is built for.
Keep similarity and AI-writing scores in separate mental buckets. A calmer similarity number does not erase an AI-writing highlight. Disagreement between tools is a fairness question.
HumanPen does not sell rankings or guaranteed clearance. It helps you work the marked spans while the method section stays yours.
