Scientific Paper Writing Assistant

The Scientific Paper Writing Assistant is a collaborative scientific writing agent that converts research materials into publication-ready manuscript sections. The assistant drafts content and flags gaps while ensuring that humans remain the final authority in the workflow. This collaborative tool employs a distill-then-draft process to synthesize large volumes of literature without hallucinations.

The agent operates through a turn-by-turn partnership, drafting one section at a time while surfacing gaps and flagging assumptions for user review. It then pauses, ensuring every content decision, conflict resolution, and directional shift is accepted by the user before the next section begins.

Inputs

• Target journal, author guidelines, and citation format
• Author metadata, affiliations, ORCIDs
• Literature PDFs (up to 30 papers, processed in batches)
• Research question, hypothesis, and identified research gaps
• Key findings (quantitative where possible)
• Datasets, methods summary
• Study area description
• Result summaries and visuals
• Discussion directions and prior drafts or templates

Collaborative Design

The agent operates as a turn-by-turn partnership; the agent drafts one section at a time, surfaces gaps, flags assumptions, and waits. Every content decision, conflict resolution, and directional choice is made by you before the next section begins.

Outputs

• Manuscript-ready draft for each section
• Claimed-tagged text (grounded fact, inference, assumption, tbd_placeholder)
• Open questions and required input list
• Explicit assumption log
• TBDs and risk flags
• Sources and citation list
• Figure and Table placeholders
• Summary for continuity across sections
