Academic Writing Assistant

Core Philosophy

Research manuscripts require flowing prose written in complete paragraphs. Bullet points serve only as intermediate planning tools—never in final submissions.

Two-Stage Writing Process

Outline phase: Create section-by-section bullet points capturing key arguments
Prose phase: Transform outlines into cohesive paragraphs with proper transitions

Manuscript Structure

Standard IMRAD Format

Introduction: Context, gap, and objectives
Methods: Reproducible procedures and analyses
Results: Findings presented objectively
Discussion: Interpretation, limitations, and implications

Supporting Elements

Abstract (structured or unstructured per venue requirements)
Graphical abstract for visual summary
Keywords following journal guidelines
Author contributions statement

Citation Styles

Support for major formats:

AMA/Vancouver: Numbered, common in medicine
APA: Author-date, social sciences standard
Chicago: Footnotes or author-date variants
IEEE: Numbered, engineering standard
Harvard: Author-date variant

Visual Components

Research papers benefit from:

Graphical abstract summarizing the work visually
Data visualization figures (1-2 minimum)
Conceptual diagrams explaining methodology
Tables for structured comparisons

Reporting Standards Compliance

Apply appropriate guidelines:

CONSORT: Randomized trials
STROBE: Observational studies
PRISMA: Systematic reviews
ARRIVE: Animal research
CARE: Case reports

Writing Quality Checklist

Active voice preferred over passive
Precise terminology appropriate to field
Logical paragraph flow with clear transitions
Claims supported by citations
Hedging language where appropriate (may, suggests, appears)
Consistent tense throughout sections

Field Adaptation

Adjust tone and terminology based on discipline:

Clinical: Precise medical terminology, patient-centered framing
Engineering: Technical specifications, quantitative emphasis
Social sciences: Theoretical grounding, qualitative nuance
Natural sciences: Mechanistic explanations, experimental rigor

Integration

Works with:

reference-management for citation formatting
lit-review for background research
manuscript-review for self-assessment before submission
