Literature Review
Recent studies (Zhang et al., 2024) have demonstrated a significant correlation between temperature variability and crop yield fluctuations across temperate regions. Building on earlier work by Mendelsohn & Dinar (2009)...
Consider adding the meta-analysis from the 2023 systematic review. It would strengthen this section considerably.
Added — also updated the citation count and cross-referenced with the methodology section.
The problem
Research shouldn't feel this disorganized
Between drafts, data, advisors, and deadlines, the academic writing process is full of friction. These are the pain points researchers know too well.
Advisor miscommunication
Critical feedback gets lost between emails, Slack messages, and scattered document comments. Important revisions slip through the cracks.
Scattered feedback
Comments live in five different places. There is no single source of truth for what has been addressed and what still needs attention.
Version confusion
Draft_v3_FINAL_revised_2.docx — sound familiar? Tracking changes across multiple collaborators quickly becomes unmanageable.
Writing & analysis disconnect
Data analysis and manuscript writing happen in separate worlds, making coordination between the two unnecessarily painful.
The solution
Built for how researchers actually work
Every feature is designed around the academic writing and review process — from first outline to final submission.
Paper structure management
Organize your manuscript by sections and drafts. See the full arc of your paper and drill into the details at a glance.
Advisor & coauthor feedback
Give and receive feedback in context. Threaded discussions stay organized by section — not scattered across tools.
Revision tracking
See what changed, when, and by whom. Never lose track of edits or accidentally overwrite a collaborator's work.
Research task workflow
Manage to-dos alongside your writing. Track experiments, analyses, and writing milestones in one unified workspace.
Data analysis coordination
Connect your analysis pipeline to your manuscript. Update figures, tables, and statistical results without the chaos.
Reference generation & export
Select papers from your library and generate formatted citations in APA, MLA, or Harvard style. Preview and export your references list as a .docx file.
How it works
From first draft to submission
A clear, structured workflow that guides you through every stage of the research writing process.
Structure your paper
Define your manuscript sections, set milestones, and invite your advisor and collaborators to the workspace.
Collaborate with advisors
Share drafts, collect structured feedback, and hold revision discussions directly in context — not over email.
Track every revision
Maintain a clear history of changes. Resolve feedback items systematically and never lose a previous version.
Submit with confidence
Verify all feedback is addressed, generate polished outputs, and move from draft to submission with clarity.
