During Paper Creation

Topic Description

Write a detailed topic description:

Analyze the impact of social media algorithms on political
polarization in the United States from 2016-2024. Focus on
Facebook and Twitter/X platforms. Include discussion of
echo chambers, filter bubbles, and misinformation spread.
Reference recent peer-reviewed studies and include both
supporting and opposing viewpoints.

Use Keywords Effectively

Include important terms that must appear in your paper:

Example keywords:

• Technical terms: "algorithmic bias", "machine learning"
• Required concepts: "theoretical framework", "methodology"
• Specific entities: names, places, events

Set Appropriate Academic Level

During Research Phase

1. Review Generated Sources

Always check that sources are:

• Relevant: Actually about your topic
• Credible: From reputable journals or publications
• Recent: Unless historical sources are needed
• Accessible: You can verify them if needed

2. Add Your Own Sources

Include sources from:

• Required course readings
• Highly relevant papers you've found
• Seminal works in your field
• Recent breakthrough studies

3. Organize by Theme

Group sources by:

• Supporting arguments
• Opposing viewpoints
• Methodological approaches
• Historical periods

During Content Generation

1. Review Section by Section

Don't generate the entire paper at once:

2. Customize Sections

For each section, consider:

• Does it address the right points?
• Is the argument logical and clear?
• Are citations appropriate and sufficient?
• Does it flow well from the previous section?

If not satisfied, regenerate with specific instructions.

3. Maintain Your Voice

Add your contribution by:

• Including personal observations
• Connecting concepts in unique ways
• Providing specific examples from your experience
• Adding critical analysis
• Drawing novel conclusions

Editing and Revision

1. Multiple Review Passes

Review your paper multiple times for:

First pass: Structure and arguments

• Does the paper flow logically?
• Are arguments well-supported?
• Is the thesis clear and defended?

Second pass: Content and analysis

• Is the analysis deep enough?
• Are there gaps in reasoning?
• Are counterarguments addressed?

Third pass: Language and style

• Is the tone academic throughout?
• Are transitions smooth?
• Is vocabulary appropriate?

Fourth pass: Technical details

• Are all citations correct?
• Is formatting consistent?
• Are there grammar/spelling errors?

2. Check Citations Carefully

Verify:

• Citation format matches style guide
• All claims are properly cited
• No citation needed for common knowledge
• In-text citations match bibliography
• Page numbers are correct

3. Use AI Writing Assistants Wisely

The AI writing assistants are great for:

• Paraphrasing to avoid too much quoting
• Expanding underdeveloped sections
• Condensing overly long sections
• Improving clarity and flow

But don't use them to:

• Completely rewrite in bulk
• Remove your personal voice
• Avoid doing your own thinking

Citation Management

Choose the Right Style

Select based on your field:

• APA: Psychology, education, social sciences
• MLA: Literature, arts, humanities
• Chicago: History, business
• Harvard: Sciences, social sciences
• IEEE: Engineering, computer science

Cite Appropriately

Avoid Over-Citation

Instead of:

Social media usage has increased (Smith, 2023). This is especially true among young adults (Smith, 2023). The average user spends 2 hours daily (Smith, 2023).
