You can also look for phrases by choosing a general language function. If you click on the latter, you can find among others the following suggested phrases: “It is still unclear whether…”, “However, the behaviour of X has not yet been investigated” and “Causal factors leading to X remain speculative”. For example, in the tab for the introduction section, one can find entries for “establishing the importance of the topic for the world or society” or “identifying a knowledge gap in the field of study”. The phrases are organised both by the common sections in a paper such as the introduction, methods, results or discussion section. Writefull is owned by Digital Science, a company that has released several Open Science apps, such as figshare, Overleaf and Altmetric.Ĭreated by Dr John Morley from “The University Language Center” of Manchester University, the phrasebank is a database of common phrases used in papers, dissertations and grant proposals – a real goldmine!

You can integrate the Writefull app into Word or Overleaf for free. This proof-reading tool for scientific texts is powered by AI and big data. Here, we go, 19 tools for scientists I recommend in no particular order: 😉īy the way, I don’t have any affiliation with any of the software listed below, and none of these are affiliated links. If you are one of those people who spend hours signing up for new tools and feeding in data, only to abandon them a few days or weeks later – then be careful reading this list, don’t get overenthusiastic. Just one word of caution: Exploring new tools can be a time-suck and distract you from getting your actual writing done.
You can use all these tools for free and some of them have paid versions with additional features. That’s why I compiled this list for you with 19 great tools to support your writing. I often get asked about my favourite writing tools. We are continuously updating this list (latest update: June 2022). A selection of writing tools – from collaborating, time-tracking and project management to finding the perfect phrase or translation.
