Capabilities

Turn “this needs evidence” into action

Academic Research watches for unsupported claims and gives you a precise, actionable way to go and support them.

Detects unsupported claims

As you write, Notesier highlights sentences that assert something but don’t yet have evidence behind them.

Suggests a search focus

Each flagged claim comes with a focused search query, so you know exactly what to look for instead of guessing.

Recommends where to look

Guidance points you toward the right places to search, with links to scholarly databases for your query.

Surfaces the key points

See the key points and evidence a strong claim should cover, so your reading is targeted, not scattered.

Evidence phrasing help

Toggle on or off

How it works

Claim, guidance, citation

A short loop that takes you from an unsupported sentence to a properly cited one.

1

Write a claim

Make your argument as you normally would. Notesier reads along and notices where a claim needs backing up.

2

See research guidance

For each flagged claim you get a search focus, key points to cover, and suggested places to find evidence.

3

Search, then cite

Follow the query to find sources, import the good ones, and cite them — turning a gap into a supported point.

Use cases

Stronger, better-supported arguments

Whenever your draft makes a claim, research suggestions help you back it up with the right evidence.

Argument

Strengthen a weak argument

Spot the assertions a marker would question and turn each one into a specific thing to go and research.

Evidence

Find evidence for a claim

Get a focused query and key points for a claim, so you know what evidence would actually support it.

Planning

Plan your reading

Use the flagged claims as a reading list, researching exactly what your draft needs rather than reading aimlessly.

Deep dive

How research fits your writing

Academic Research is the prompt to act. The Research Library is where you find sources, and Citations is where you reference them.

Step 1

Notesier flags the claim

Research suggestions run on your selection and identify where your draft asserts something unsupported.

Step 2

Discover and import in the library

Take the search focus to the Research Library, where you can discover open-access papers and import them.

Step 3

Cite what you find

Back in your draft, insert an accurate in-text citation for the source you chose, in your required style.

Academic Research focuses on guiding your search inside the draft. When it’s time to actually find and collect papers, head to the Research Library’s Discover search — then cite your chosen sources without leaving the editor.
