What problem does it solve?

Writing scientific manuscripts is time-consuming and prone to inconsistency across IMRAD structures, citation styles, and figure integration. This skill streamlines the process by providing a structured, two-stage approach that moves from outlines with key literature points to polished paragraphs in full manuscript form.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • IMRAD-driven manuscript guidance with Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion sections.
  • Automated citation management across AMA, Vancouver, and APA styles with consistent formatting.
  • Two-stage writing: generate section outlines via literature lookup, then convert outlines into flowing prose.
  • Guidance for figures and tables, including integration of graphical abstracts and schematics.
  • Adherence to reporting guidelines (CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA) where applicable.
  • Field- and journal-agnostic writing support for research papers, reviews, and protocol submissions.

Quick Start

Draft an IMRAD-compliant manuscript outline from your study notes and convert it to full, citation-rich paragraphs.
