Having results is not the same as having a paper. In this hands-on live tutorial, Omkar Jadhav from the SciSpace product team will walk through writing a research paper with SciSpace Agent, one section at a time. The tutorial will start by turning results, notes and references into an IMRaD outline, then show how to draft each section from your own data and the literature, adding relevant papers and accurate citations along the way. It will cover writing a discussion that connects findings to prior work and addresses limitations, followed by revising language, checking consistency and closing gaps reviewers often flag, and finishing with pre-submission checks. A 15-minute Q&A will follow the 45-minute demo.

How to do it

  1. Turn results into an IMRaD outline

    Give SciSpace Agent your results, notes and references and ask for an IMRaD outline. A clear outline lets you write a research paper section by section instead of facing a blank page.

  2. Draft each section from your data

    Draft one section at a time using your own data and the existing literature. Working section by section keeps each part focused and easier to check.

  3. Add papers and citations as you write

    Ask the agent for relevant papers while drafting and insert accurate citations as you go. Adding sources during writing avoids a scramble for references at the end.

  4. Write a discussion that links findings

    Draft a discussion that connects your findings to prior work, addresses limitations and states your contribution. This is where readers judge whether your results matter.

  5. Revise for language and consistency

    Revise the full draft for language, consistency and the gaps reviewers commonly flag. Catching these issues yourself reduces avoidable revision requests.

  6. Run final checks before submission

    Complete the pre-submission checks before sending your manuscript to a journal. A final pass helps you submit a complete, consistent paper.

Frequently asked questions

In what order should I write the sections of a research paper?

Many researchers start with the methods and results, because they describe work already done, then write the discussion, followed by the introduction and finally the abstract and title. This order keeps the introduction focused on the questions the results actually answer. An IMRaD outline built from your results makes each step easier.

What should I check before submitting a manuscript?

Confirm that the paper follows the journal's author guidelines, word limits and reference style, that every claim is supported by a citation or your data, and that figures, tables and numbers are consistent across sections. Review the limitations, declarations and AI-use disclosure requirements, and ask a colleague to read it with a reviewer's eye.
