This fragmentation creates signicant barriers for researchers, particularly those with limited statistical training or those working across language boundaries. In this paper, we present Data2Paper, an AI-assisted system that integrates the pipeline from raw survey or clinical data to a formatted research paper draft. Our system implements four stages: (1) Intelligent Data Cleaning, which detects and handles survey-specic structures such as Likert scales, skip logic, and coded responses; (2) Research Framing, which proposes research questions and hypotheses from the observed data characteristics; (3) Automated Statistical Analysis, in which statistical methods are selected and executed using deterministic Python libraries with LLM support for planning and code generation; and (4) Multilingual Paper Drafting, which assembles results, tables, gures, and citations into a complete manuscript draft in seven languages. We report an internal evaluation on 50 survey and clinical datasets, comparing computed statistics and method choices against expert analyses and collecting quality assessments from 15 researchers. On this benchmark, Data2Paper achieves high agreement with expert-computed statistics and typically completes end-to-end processing within 30 minutes for the evaluated workloads. These results suggest that the system can substantially accelerate early-stage quantitative reporting, although human review remains necessary for domain framing, causal interpretation, and submission readiness.
