Scientific manuscript drafting converts literature-backed outlines into flowing IMRAD prose with integrated citations. A two-stage workflow generates section outlines from literature lookups first, then transforms those outlines into complete, publication-ready paragraphs with frontmatter metadata.

Citation formatting supports APA, AMA, and Vancouver styles with automatic bibliography generation and in-text citations. The system integrates citations directly into the prose during the drafting workflow, ensuring references are correctly formatted for the target journal.

IMRAD structure organizes manuscripts into Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion sections. This workflow drafts each section sequentially from literature-backed outlines, placing figures and tables with self-contained captions directly within the appropriate IMRAD sections.

Figures and tables guidance includes self-contained captions and integrated placement within the IMRAD structure. The workflow provides recommendations for visual formatting and ensures visuals are positioned correctly within the manuscript sections during the prose generation stage.

Discipline-aware writing enforces field conventions and writing principles to maintain accuracy, clarity, and objectivity across journals. Supplying a target journal prompt allows the system to deliver a complete IMRAD draft tailored to that publication's specific disciplinary standards.

Literature lookups are required before drafting because the two-stage workflow depends on literature-backed outlines. The first stage generates section outlines from these lookups, which the second stage then transforms into full, flowing paragraphs with integrated citations.
