Scientific Writing
Compose research manuscripts with verified citations and IMRAD structure
What You Can Do
You can draft, structure, and refine complete research manuscripts for journal submission using the IMRAD framework. The skill combines deep literature research with formatted scientific writing, producing full-paragraph prose backed by verified citations and compliance with study-specific reporting guidelines. Whether you're writing abstracts, methods sections, results, or full manuscripts, this skill ensures your work meets publication standards with properly formatted references and data presentations.
Features
outline key points with research verification first, then convert to flowing prose
organize abstracts, introductions, methods, results, and discussion sections correctly
format references in APA, AMA, Vancouver, Chicago, or IEEE standards
apply CONSORT (trials), STROBE (observational), PRISMA (reviews), and other study-specific requirements
create, format, and integrate data visualizations with captions and legends
draft structured or unstructured abstracts meeting specific word limits and requirements
generates complete prose (never bullet points) suitable for direct manuscript submission
integrates with research-lookup to back every claim with sourced literature
Example Output
Introduction section example: "Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of mortality globally, accounting for approximately 17.9 million deaths annually (World Health Organization, 2021). Previous studies have demonstrated that aerobic exercise reduces systolic blood pressure by 3-5 mmHg in hypertensive populations (Pescatello et al., 2015), yet optimal exercise duration and intensity parameters remain incompletely characterized..."
Methods section example: "This randomized controlled trial enrolled 120 participants aged 40-65 years with baseline systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg. Participants were randomized 1:1 to an 8-week moderate-intensity aerobic exercise program or usual care control. The primary outcome was change in 24-hour ambulatory systolic blood pressure, assessed using validated ABPM devices (Spacelabs 90217, Redmond, WA)..."
Abstract example (structured): "Background: Limited data exist on long-term medication adherence in rural populations. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study of 500 adults prescribed antihypertensive medications across 12 rural health centers. Results: At 12 months, medication adherence was 64% (95% CI: 60-68%), with significant variation by socioeconomic status. Conclusions: Rural patients require tailored adherence interventions..."
