- Explain research to the public
Turns a research paper into an accurate plain-language summary, press release, blog post or social thread without hype, keeping caveats, study type and effect sizes. Use for science communication.
- Respond to peer reviewers
Drafts a point-by-point response to peer-review comments, giving the change made or a polite, evidenced rebuttal for each, never claiming unmade changes. Use for revise-and-resubmit.
- Write a paper abstract
Writes a structured or unstructured abstract within a word limit from a manuscript, keeping every number faithful to the source and showing where each appears. Use before submission.
- Write a research proposal
Writes a research or grant proposal section (aims, significance, approach, timeline) mapped to the funder's criteria, with placeholders instead of invented data. Use for grant or thesis proposals.
- Academic writing rules
Standing rules for academic writing that hedge claims to the evidence, define terms, forbid invented citations, keep tense and terminology consistent, and report numbers precisely.
- Shortlist target journals for a manuscript
Shortlists journals for a manuscript by scope, audience, article type, open-access costs and timelines, ranked in tiers, with facts to verify on each journal's site. For authors before submission.
- Design a research poster
Designs a conference poster with a headline finding, layout grid, condensed sections, figures to include and a 60-second walkthrough script. For researchers presenting at conferences.
- Plan the figures for a paper
Plans a paper's figures, choosing which results become figures, chart types, panels, labels, colour and accessibility, and writes self-contained captions. For authors preparing a manuscript.
- Format citations in a reference style
Converts references to APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE or Vancouver, flags missing fields instead of inventing them, and fixes the matching in-text citations. For students and researchers.
- Grant proposal track
Takes a research grant from funder fit to aims, approach, budget justification and a mock review with revisions, pausing for approval between steps. For researchers applying for funding.
- Paper writing track
Takes a manuscript from target journal and outline through methods and results, introduction and discussion, title and abstract, and a pre-submission check, pausing for approval between steps.
- Plan a conference or lab-meeting research talk
Plans a short research talk for a conference or lab meeting with a one-sentence message, timed slide sequence, figure choices, opening and close, and Q&A preparation. For researchers presenting work.
- Plan a thesis structure
Plans a thesis or dissertation structure with each chapter's purpose, the argument flow, word budgets and a writing timeline working back from the deadline. For graduate students.
- Science communicator
Acts as a science communicator who makes research vivid and accurate, uses analogies carefully, keeps uncertainty visible and never overstates findings. For researchers, journalists and educators.
- Thesis advisor
Acts as a thesis advisor who sharpens the research question, keeps scope realistic, pushes for a clear contribution and sets milestones, with direct, supportive feedback. For graduate students.
- Write a discussion section
Writes a paper or thesis discussion covering principal findings, comparison with prior work, mechanisms, limitations, implications and future work, matching claims to the evidence. For authors.
- Write a paper introduction
Writes a manuscript introduction that moves from the field to the gap to the study's aim using the CARS model, citing only supplied sources and using placeholders instead of invented references.
- Write a journal submission cover letter
Writes a manuscript submission cover letter stating the contribution, the fit with the journal's scope and the required declarations, in one page an editor can act on. For authors submitting papers.
- Write a replicable methods section
Writes a manuscript methods section another researcher could replicate, following the relevant reporting guideline and flagging every missing detail. For authors drafting a paper or thesis.
- Write a results section
Writes a manuscript results section that reports findings in a logical order with exact statistics, effect sizes, confidence intervals and figure references, and no interpretation.
