“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.”

“WriteWise helps with key things like connectors, verb usage, what is in the content, what is the most important thing in your paper, the structure that you should follow to build a good paper, and that it is interesting and easy to read.”

“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.”

“There is no comparison. [WriteWise] checks everything that you have written, such as how long the sentences are, if there is repeated information, [and] if [the writing] is consistent.”

“I am a fan of the tool. Last year I contributed to 3-4 articles, and I used [WriteWise] mainly to check and make corrections.”

“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.”

“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.”

“[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%.”

“I would definitely recommend this software to anyone who is interested, whether or not they have experience in writing scientific papers, as it is a tool that serves as a guide for you to express your results in a consistent and logical manner.”

“[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.”

“[WriteWise] allows you to quickly write a quality paper. Undoubtably, once I used the software, it helped me quite a bit in writing a couple of papers that have now already been accepted…There was not much work after submitting the papers. I 100% recommend [WriteWise].”

“[WriteWise] helped me to start writing and in how to arrange the structure. For my first paper, I had a rough draft more or less ready, but once I used the software, I was able to improve different sections, such as the Results and Discussion. The software helped me to concisely convey my ideas so as to highlight my findings and present a solid Discussion…I would definitely recommend [WriteWise].”

“[WriteWise] helped me to break the writer’s block I had when I saw a blank page and to start writing. Thanks to the software, I can see my research and put everything I have done into words, which used to be very difficult for me…[WriteWise] has also helped me to reinforce my knowledge of how to write a paper and to see that knowledge reflected in a final product. So, I recommend [WriteWise].”

“I liked the tool that reviews verb coherency. I personally get stuck with the use of passive verbs, I tend to write thinking in Spanish and the software helps a lot with that.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Superb [the scientific grammar module], because it not only detects the error but gives clues to the reasons, and I think that’s very valuable.”

“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.”

“Hopefully the university will keep the WriteWise subscription, because it is proving very useful. The idea is to explore the software and take advantage of all the tools it might have.”

“I have had the best experience with using WriteWise. I’ve been using it for a month, and I’ve already put together an article! Which for me is an absolute record. Also, I’ve already started a second article, thanks to the software. In my writing experience, it has been a record.”

“This tool is a great help, and it noticeably improves my use of scientific grammar, since the software helps me to correct the mistakes I am making. Structural improvements within the context of ‘good writing’ are a result, make the presentation of the paper better.”

“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.”

“WriteWise helped me a lot to build the idea [of my paper], use more appropriate language, and give the ideas a logical order. WriteWise not only gives you the opportunity to identify errors; it also gives you input on corrections for scientific writing. What I really like about WriteWise is that you learn; it sticks with you, and you don’t make the same mistake anymore.”

“Before WriteWise, I used to send my draft to the PI and the comments he sent me had a lot to do with the way I presented my paper in English. But after using the software [WriteWise], I identified the errors in the original paper and corrected them…There was a big improvement, [WriteWise] helped me a lot to optimize my time and focus on the points I had problems with.”

“In general, I have a hard time writing papers, and [WriteWise] helps me to review the technical English, to change some words that are too informal, and [WriteWise] recommends alternative phrases so that they are better written and more structured. [WriteWise] comprehensively helps me write papers, since I am writing and seeing if it is well written and if I am using the right terms. [WriteWise] helps me to review every part of a section of a paper, something that Word will never do.”

“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.”

“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.”
