From a rough topic to a submitted document

A project holds its own sources, notes, chapters, versions, instruments, files and progress. Nothing is shared between projects unless you say so.

• Guided wizard for institution, faculty, department, program, level and discipline.
• Research problem, intended objectives, research questions and study context.
• Project type (dissertation, thesis, proposal, journal article, project report) and citation style.
• Start immediately with partial information — drafts are saved as you go and you can return later.
• An optional review step before the project is created, with the outline it will generate.

The blueprint is the spine of the project. It records the decisions that everything else inherits from.

• Background, problem, purpose, scope, significance and conceptual framework.
• General and specific objectives, research questions, hypotheses, methods and variables.
• Objectives and questions are linked as parent/child items, so a change is visible everywhere.
• Every save creates a version you can compare or restore.
• Readiness scoring tells you what is still missing — it never claims approval.

One search interface over OpenAlex, CORE, Semantic Scholar and Crossref, with per-provider provenance preserved.

• Filters for year range, source type, open access, and sorting by relevance or recency.
• Every result shows which provider returned it and which identifiers were found (DOI, OpenAlex ID, URL).
• If one provider times out or is unconfigured, the others still return — the interface says which failed and why.
• Results are cached briefly so typing does not hammer provider rate limits.
• Searching never invents a result. No match is reported as no match.

The library is where sources become usable evidence: tagged, annotated, mapped to objectives and turned into citations.

• Save a source with relevance, reading status, collections, tags, and the objective or chapter it supports.
• Write notes against a source, with kinds for summary, quote, method and critique.
• Build a literature matrix row by row: purpose, method, sample, findings, limitations, relevance.
• Duplicate detection by DOI and normalised title — similar titles are never merged silently.
• Verification state is explicit and separate from your notes.

The writing workspace keeps each section small and fast, and inserts citations from stored records rather than typed text.

• Sequential outline — Chapter One through Chapter Five, or a proposal, article or custom structure.
• Autosave with visible save state, plus automatic version snapshots as a section grows.
• Citation insertion from the library inserts a stable token that resolves against the stored source.
• Change the citation style and the document and bibliography reformat consistently.
• Consistency checks flag missing citations, unresolved references, retracted sources and unapproved AI text.

Corrections are first-class records, not a folder of comments pasted somewhere.

• Upload a marked-up DOCX or PDF and extract available comments, or record feedback manually.
• Each correction links to a chapter and section, with the original text preserved.
• Statuses: imported, analysed, awaiting clarification, awaiting review, approved, applied, verified, deferred, rejected.
• The original uploaded document is never replaced by an edited version.
• A correction log keeps the request, the response and the changed sections together.

The analysis workspace only ever operates on the data you uploaded. It will not manufacture results.

• Upload CSV or Excel and inspect columns, inferred types, missing values and duplicates.
• Descriptive statistics, frequency tables, reliability (Cronbach's alpha) and Pearson correlation.
• Each run stores its configuration and outputs so the result can be reviewed and reproduced.
• Assumptions and limitations are reported alongside the result.
• The original dataset is preserved — cleaning produces a new, explicit version.

Before anything is generated, the document is assembled and checked. Then you get a real file.

• Assembly includes front matter, chapter headings, section content and the bibliography.
• Validation reports what is missing or inconsistent and blocks export when there is no content.
• DOCX export is available on the free plan; PDF is a paid feature.
• Exports are stored as private files, downloadable only by you through an authenticated route.
• Exports are real generated files — verified against representative project content.
