Paper Draft Generation

Generate a complete IMRaD-structured academic paper draft from research notes and documents.

IMRaD Structure

Section Purpose Length
Abstract Background, objective, methods, findings, conclusions 250–300 words
Introduction Problem, motivation, gap, contribution 400–600 words
Related Work Prior literature organized by theme 500–800 words
Methods How the research was/will be conducted 400–600 words
Results What was found (or projected findings) 300–500 words
Discussion Interpretation, implications, limitations 400–600 words
Conclusion Summary, contributions, future work 200–300 words
References All cited sources As needed

Workflow

  1. Gather content — read all provided notes, wiki pages, and documents
  2. Identify the core contribution — what is new and why does it matter?
  3. Map citations — track which sources support which claims
  4. Draft section by section — follow IMRaD order
  5. Add inline citations — use [Author, Year] or [Source Title] format
  6. Flag gaps — mark sections needing real data with > ⚠️ [PROJECTED — add empirical data]

Citation format

Use the actual title or author of notes/documents you read:

Predictive coding theory proposes... [Rao & Ballard, 1999]

At the end, add a References section listing all cited sources.

Handling missing data

When the research doesn't have empirical results yet, write projected results based on the hypotheses — but clearly mark them:

> ⚠️ **Projected Results** — Replace with actual experimental data before submission.

Based on the experimental design, we expect...

Quality checklist

  • Abstract covers all 5 components (background, objective, methods, findings, conclusions)
  • Introduction ends with a clear statement of contribution
  • Every major claim has an inline citation
  • Methods section is specific enough to reproduce
  • Discussion addresses alternative interpretations
  • Limitations section is honest, not defensive
