Literature inclusion criteria

MethodDoes the method meet the predefined inclusion scope?
Date rangeWas it published within the search period?
Publication typeIs its publication type—journal article, conference paper, or review—eligible?
Full textCan you verify its methods, results, and limitations?

Define the search scope

Review queries, databases, and date ranges so the topic is neither too broad nor missing important synonyms.

Screen papers consistently

Include or exclude papers using explicit population, method, date, and publication-type criteria.

Verify every citation

Return to the source behind each citation and check authors, year, and the claim before finalizing.

Set the outline before drafting

Organize sections around your research questions, then generate each section's first draft.

A first draft in three steps

Step 1

Enter a topic

Describe your research topic or direction in one sentence.

Step 2

Search and organize

AI searches, screens, and groups papers by direction while you verify the queries and sources.

Step 3

Generate a cited draft

Draft each section from supporting literature, then export to Word with references.

Frequently asked questions

Are the generated citations real?

The review is generated from retrieved papers, and each citation links to its corresponding source. Before finalizing, verify the authors, year, title, and the claim supported by the paper.

Which literature sources are covered?

Search covers PubMed, arXiv, and established academic journals. It supports Chinese and English queries and filters by year and source.

Can I use my own papers?

Yes. In addition to AI search, you can upload PDF or Word sources. Acadwrite prioritizes the material you provide when drafting.

Can I submit the generated review as-is?

Acadwrite produces a structured, traceable first draft. Revise it using your own scholarly judgment instead of submitting it unchanged.
