SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Researchers often struggle to structure manuscripts, articulate a clear research gap, and match the style and reporting expectations of scholarly venues, leading to desk rejections and major revisions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Section-by-Section Guidance: Covers title, abstract, introduction (CARS/gap move), literature review, methods, results, discussion, conclusion, and declarations for IMRaD papers. - Style and Revision Protocol: Provides rules for tense, hedging, signposting, and a six-pass revision workflow from structure to reviewer empathy. - Reporting Guidelines: Points to PRISMA, CONSORT, STROBE, TRIPOD, and other checklists matched to study type. - Use Case: When drafting a journal article on BIM-based construction safety monitoring, use this Skill to structure the introduction around an explicit gap statement and ensure the discussion addresses both theoretical and practical implications. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to help draft or revise the introduction of your manuscript using the CARS gap-move structure.

Frequently Asked Questions about academic-writing

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure an academic paper introduction?▼

Use the CARS model: establish the territory, establish the niche by identifying a specific gap in prior work, then occupy the niche with your objective, approach, and contribution. End with an explicit contribution statement.

How do I write an abstract for a journal article?▼

Cover context and problem, gap or objective, method, key results with concrete specifics, and contribution or implication in 150-250 words. Avoid citations, undefined acronyms, and content not present in the paper.

Which reporting guideline should I follow for my study?▼

Use PRISMA for systematic reviews, CONSORT for randomized trials, STROBE for observational studies, SRQR or COREQ for qualitative work, TRIPOD for prediction models, and CHEERS for economic evaluations.

What tense should I use in academic writing?▼

Use present tense for established knowledge and your claims, and past tense for what you or others did, such as methods and prior findings. Methods sections often use passive voice for procedures.

What are the limitations of IMRaD structure?▼

IMRaD suits empirical papers but not all genres; review papers, design science research, and conceptual papers use varied structures. State your chosen structure explicitly when deviating from IMRaD.
