Research Papers
An IMRaD manuscript where every citation is checked, every figure comes from your own data, and the journal's template is applied for you. The question, the results text and the discussion are yours.

FIG 1ANATOMY
What goes into a research paper, and who does what.
Most empirical papers follow Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion. Each section has a different job, so MoreMind does a different job in each, and some sections are yours alone.
§01 · SHARED
Title & abstract
MOREMIND DOES
Checks the abstract against the journal's word limit and required headings (structured or unstructured), and suggests keywords drawn from your own text.YOU DO
Write it once the results are settled, so it reports what you actually found.§02 · SHARED
Introduction
MOREMIND DOES
Finds sources for the background and checks each one against its DOI and the passage you quote. Shows where the literature looks thin.YOU DO
Argue for the gap and state the research question. That framing is the reason the paper exists.§03 · SHARED
Methods
MOREMIND DOES
Prompts for the details reviewers ask for (sample, instruments, software and version) and pulls the data-cleaning steps straight from its log.YOU DO
Describe what you actually did, including anything that changed from the plan.§04 · SHARED
Results
MOREMIND DOES
Cleans and analyses your dataset, builds the tables and figures, numbers and cross-references them, and logs every transformation.YOU DO
Choose the analyses that answer your question and write the results text: what the numbers show, without interpretation.§05 · YOURS ALONE
Discussion
MOREMIND DOES
Retrieves verified studies to compare your findings against and flags claims that have no citation.YOU DO
Interpret the results, compare them with prior work, state the limitations and say what follows. This is the paper's argument.§06 · SHARED
References
MOREMIND DOES
Formats the list in the journal's style and keeps in-text citations and the reference list in sync.YOU DO
Confirm each source says what you cite it for. Verification shows it exists and matches the quote; relevance is your call.FIG 2HOW IT'S ASSESSED
What assessors look for.
Peer reviewers and markers vary, but the same questions come up again and again.
QUESTIONA clear, answerable research question, stated at the end of the introduction and answered in the discussion.
REPLICABILITYMethods with enough detail that another researcher could repeat the study.
REPORTINGResults reported with effect sizes and uncertainty, not only p-values, and kept separate from interpretation.
PROPORTIONConclusions no stronger than the evidence, with limitations stated plainly.
SOURCINGFactual claims cited to primary sources that actually support them.
COMPLIANCEThe journal's author guidelines followed: word limit, reference style, figure format, required statements.
FIG 3COMMON MISTAKES
Where marks are usually lost, and how MoreMind helps.
What MoreMind can catch, and what it leaves to you.
MISTAKE 01
Citing a paper for something it doesn't say
Each citation is checked against the source's DOI and the passage you quote. If the passage doesn't match, the citation is flagged before it reaches your draft.
MISTAKE 02
Numbers in the text that disagree with the tables
Tables, figures and captions are built from the same cleaned dataset, so there is one source for every number. You still check the sentences you write.
MISTAKE 03
Interpretation creeping into Results
MoreMind can flag sentences in Results that read as interpretation. You decide whether they move to the Discussion.
MISTAKE 04
Reformatting by hand for a second journal
Switch the target journal and the template and reference style are re-applied. Check the journal's current guidelines too, because they change.

01 · QUESTION & TARGET JOURNALFix the research question and the journal you're aiming at, so the template, word limit and reference style are set from the start.
02 · FIND & VERIFY SOURCESSearch the literature. Every source is checked against its DOI or URL and the passage you rely on before it can be cited.
03 · CLEAN & ANALYSE DATAUpload your data. Exclusions, recodes and transformations are logged, so the Methods can report them exactly.
04 · FIGURES & TABLESFigures and tables are built from the cleaned data, numbered, captioned and cross-referenced.
05 · WRITE IMRADYou write each section. Suggested edits appear as changes you accept or reject.
06 · FORMAT & SUBMITApply the journal's template and reference style, then export DOCX or PDF for the submission system.
FIG 5EXAMPLE
One dataset behind every figure.
The figures in your Results are drawn from the same cleaned dataset that produced your tables, with axis labels, units and confidence bands taken from the data. Change an exclusion rule and every figure and table updates, and the change is recorded in the log.

FIG 7FAQ
Common questions about a research paper.
No. It finds verified studies to compare your results against and flags uncited claims, but the interpretation is yours. Every change you accept is logged, so you can show exactly what MoreMind did.
