Welcome to the Academic Writing Assistant, a writing tool designed to help students and researchers write academic texts. The tool comprises two components.

  • Text review

    This component offers advice on common language issues, coherence and cohesion, and stylistic matters.
    For each of these aspects, the writing tool will highlight possible problems in your text. As comments are generated automatically, not all the elements which are highlighted are necessarily wrong or relevant to your text. Conversely, the tool only focuses on a limited number of aspects, so some mistakes may not be indicated.

  • Vocabulary resources

    This component provides information on specific words and word combinations (e.g., to carry out / conduct research) as well as on the contexts in which they appear.
