SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Deciding whether IMRaD is appropriate for a given draft, transforming mixed material into IMRaD, and reviewing drafts for structure, evidence, and section-boundary correctness.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mode-based IMRaD guidance across four workflows: Reviewer (audit an IMRaD draft), Detector (assess IMRaD applicability and components), Recomposer (convert notes or transcripts into IMRaD), and Writer (generate a complete IMRaD-compliant manuscript).
  • Structure validation and enforcement: ensures Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion appear in the correct order with clear boundaries and consistent labeling.
  • Guidance and transparency: explicit assumptions, limitations, and non-empirical labeling when applicable.

Quick Start

Provide your IMRaD draft and request a guided IMRaD structure or review to align with the standard.

Frequently Asked Questions about imrad

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
Can I convert interview transcripts or rough notes into an IMRaD manuscript?

Yes, you can transform mixed materials like notes and transcripts into an IMRaD manuscript. The Recomposer workflow specifically converts unstructured content into properly ordered Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion sections.

What is the best way to validate IMRaD section boundaries and ordering?

To validate IMRaD section boundaries, use the Reviewer workflow to audit your draft. It enforces correct Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion ordering while checking for clear section boundaries and consistent labeling.

How do I review a research paper draft for IMRaD compliance and evidence?

You can review a research paper draft for IMRaD compliance using the Reviewer mode. This audits the manuscript to ensure correct section structure, validates evidence presentation, and labels non-empirical components when applicable.

Can I generate a complete IMRaD-compliant manuscript from scratch?

Yes, you can generate a complete IMRaD-compliant manuscript using the Writer workflow. This mode creates the full draft while enforcing standard IMRaD section ordering, boundaries, and necessary non-empirical labeling for transparency.

When should I label non-empirical content in an IMRaD document?

You should label non-empirical content in an IMRaD document when the draft contains elements that do not fit standard empirical reporting. The workflow automatically applies explicit non-empirical labeling to maintain structural transparency and guide accurate section boundaries.
