Academic Paraphraser

Rewrite teks akademik untuk:

• Literature review — synthesis multiple sources
• Avoid plagiarism — same idea, different words
• Improve flow — connect ideas smoothly
• Simplify complex text — tanpa losing meaning

NOT for:

• ❌ Making casual/conversational (use Humanizer for that)
• ❌ Changing technical terms
• ❌ Adding opinions
• ❌ Removing citations

Academic Paraphrasing Rules

1. Keep Technical Terms

Original: "Machine learning algorithms utilize neural networks" Bad: "Computer programs use brain-like systems" Good: "Machine learning algorithms employ neural network architectures"

2. Maintain Formal Tone

Original: "Researchers found that AI helps a lot" Bad: "AI is super helpful according to scientists" Good: "Studies demonstrate significant improvements attributable to AI integration"

3. Preserve Citation Integrity

Original: "Smith (2020) argues that..." After paraphrase: "According to Smith (2020), ..." ⚠️ Never remove author attribution!

4. Use Academic Transitions

Instead of...	Use...
Also	Furthermore / Moreover
But	However / Conversely
So	Therefore / Consequently
Like	Similarly / In comparison
Because	Due to / As a result of

Techniques

1. Sentence Structure Change

Original: "The study found that students using AI tools performed better." Paraphrase: "Improved performance among students was observed in cases where AI tools were utilized (Smith, 2020)."

2. Active ↔ Passive

Original: "The researchers analyzed the data." Paraphrase: "The data were analyzed by the researchers."

3. Synonym Replacement (Careful!)

Original: "Significant increase" Paraphrase: "Substantial rise" / "Notable growth" / "Marked escalation"

4. Chunking & Combining

Original: "AI is popular. It helps students. It saves time." Paraphrase: "The popularity of AI among students can be attributed to its time-saving benefits."

Quality Check

After paraphrasing, verify:

• Same meaning preserved?
• Author/citation still credited?
• Technical terms unchanged?
• Formal tone maintained?
• No awkward phrasing?
• Would pass plagiarism check?

Process

1. Read original text carefully
2. Identify: main idea, technical terms, citations
3. Rewrite using different structure
4. Replace non-technical words with synonyms
5. Check against rules above
6. Compare: meaning same? tone formal?
7. Output final version
