“For me at least, [WriteWise] is saving me from having to write the entire paper…now I receive the paper [from my lab members] 50 to 60% done…My idea is that people working my lab check their papers in the software so that we can be pretty sure that we will not receive bad comments about the English.”

“The first and most important difference between the WriteWise software and other tools that can be used to write scientific articles is that it is a very user-friendly software and allows you to save time. It helps you get through the tedious tasks of writing an article, which is the Achilles Heel of all doctorate students and post-graduates in general.”

“The [WriteWise] platform is very user-friendly and easy to use. Firstly, it helps you with the structure of a paper, regardless of the manuscript section. [WriteWise shows you] the logical order you should follow so that what you are communicating is more effective. I recommend this tool as it has very good feedback.”

“[WriteWise] helped me not only to write papers from scratch, but also to revive some papers that were very stagnant. For me, the most useful thing in terms of writing is structuring the scientific discourse…[WriteWise] provides a lot of value as compared to other tools like Word and Grammarly.”

Jorge Aedo, PhD

“[WriteWise] is 100% recommended; it is easy to work with; it is very didactic, and, furthermore, you can move quickly in creating ideas and verb tenses. You can go back and self-correct with this program and advance very quickly. What’s more, if you have previously published without using this program, it can improve your writing, I believe, by 40 or 50%. So, I firmly recommend it.”

“[WriteWise] primarily [helped] me…to write the first draft of my investigation so that it could then be published. This saved me time, in addition to having a better quality manuscript that I can present. So, this tool is going to help me more efficiently write in the future in the laboratory because I will not have to invest so much time and effort into writing a scientific article.”

“I would highly recommend the use of the software because it facilitates work that is not always talked about: the work between a student and adviser. It reduces the number of student-advisor interactions regarding revisions, especially structural and grammatical revisions, which are the most frequent revisions when you start writing. The software is a time saver, and time is valuable.”

“[WriteWise] helps Spanish speakers to write directly in English, to write using scientific structuring, including spelling/grammar corrections and the creation of sentences. This tool not only helps us to produce papers, but it also helps us with independent learning. I think it’s a great contribution.”

Marizú Velásquez

“When writing an article, your typing is generally disordered. However, [WriteWise] has helped me a lot, especially in structuring and ordering my ideas. For example, I was already at an advanced stage of writing a paper, but using the software has helped me even more to sort out the structure of what I had initially.”

Juan Díaz

“[WriteWise] is a super useful tool for those of us in the process of learning. This tool is significantly and vastly different from other text editors like Word as it has quite a few tools that help you with spelling, with syntax, and in guiding you on how to go about writing step-by-step. I recommend it 100%.”

Julio Colmenares-Zerpa

“[WriteWise] has been very useful because it saves you time; because instead of reading and revising, this software gives you a step-by-step of what things are wrong and makes you focus on those details to correct them. [WriteWise] makes [writing] very fast; it speeds up the process. It saves you the headache. Specifically, with the paper I published [WriteWise] helped me a lot with the structure, to identify the little details that I hadn’t noticed.”

“In comparison to other software, this is trained with scientific papers. In other words, the parts about the context are exclusively for writing a scientific text or a research paper. Other options have tools to help you write grammatically correct, but not necessarily a scientific paper.”

Pedro Valencia, PhD

“I would recommend [WriteWise to other colleagues] for review. For people who have an advanced level of English or experience with writing papers, as is my case, WriteWise is still super useful because it shortens the time to write a lot. And for people who are intermediate to advanced levels, you could effectively replace sending your paper for editing by using this software.”

Carlos Cárdenas

“The tool itself – the whole topic of grammatical correction, the pre-constructed sentences, the topic of verb voices – is very practical. WriteWise makes very clear what you are writing and what your mistakes are, so you can correct them. As a support it works very well, I really recommend it.”

Juan Carlos Briede, PhD

“I used it mostly for the grammar and spelling check, like Grammarly which was the tool I was used to using. But this software has much more potential, for example, one can use the structures or frameworks [provided in WriteWise], and build the introduction, which is the most difficult thing to write.”

“I don’t have that much experience in publishing. Using WriteWise has been a good way to understand the logic of publishing, and the software has also helped me to establish the habit of writing and proofreading. [WriteWise] helps me make my writing more attractive – to finally sell your product, which is your research, and to get published. I’m satisfied, [WriteWise] is a great contribution.”

“Using the software has been a good experience, as it gave me some confidence before submitting articles to the journal. While I can read and speak English, in terms of writing and spelling, I am quite insecure, but WriteWise gave me confidence.”

“WriteWise is a valuable tool for preparing a paper in terms of English spelling, and it also helps you get started writing a paper: which connectors to use, which phrases and words to use most often.”

“[WriteWise] helped me a lot in proofreading my paper. Usually, advisors are in charge of doing this work, so you are depending on them to advance. But with the help of WriteWise, you are writing, the software is explaining [the logic] to you, and you are learning. [WriteWise] allows you to be independent, to advance faster, and to manage your time better. So, the advisor’s review goes much faster and is more effective since they review [a draft] that is much more structure than [a draft] sent without the help of the software. I would absolutely recommend [WriteWise] to anyone involved in the process of writing and reviewing papers.”

“Especially as related to the structure of an article, I believe [WriteWise] helps students learn a lot about how to write so that the structure of the manuscript is correct. Actually, in that sense, I almost barely have to go into detail during my revision, which before I had to do, but now I have to do it less frequently…In fact, in the last year, I already don’t recall having to [revise the manuscript structure].”

Héctor Contreras

“The normal way of writing papers is quite haphazard, and you have a huge job of searching through all the other journals to know how to write connectors and how to link ideas. When I tried [WriteWise]…it made writing more intuitive and served as a guide…The initial aid in establishing the general idea [of my paper] remarkably facilitated advancing [my] scientific work. When I have presented this tool to my advisor and colleagues, they have seen that it is going to make writing much easier.”

Gabriela Sánchez, PhD

“When I was selected to use WriteWise, I had a paper in review and when the journal sent it back to me to make some adjustments, I took the opportunity to put it into the software, and I am very happy! I resubmitted that review and it is now published. I didn’t have to pay an additional fee to have the grammar checked.”
