Writing a manuscript and getting your research published in a highly referred journal requires a lot of effort and planning. These journals judge not only the content of your research but also the language it is expressed in, which makes writing a good manuscript an especially important part of your research journey. But here is the catch, writing a research paper is tough and there can be multiple reasons why getting it ready can turn out to be a really challenging task – from language barriers to other limitations as a writer, there can be many problems one faces in the manuscript writing process.
We, at Researcher.Life, believe that researchers’ impact should not be chained by their abilities to write in grammatically correct sentences, but rather on the content of their research. That is why we have curated a set of AI-powered tools and expert services to help you write and prepare your research manuscript for journal submission.
The solutions are meant to help you at various stages – from the point you start writing the first draft to AI-powered assessments of your final draft’s readiness and even professional academic editing services provided by industry, and subject matter, experts.

Academic sentence search engine
The academic sentence search tool is best suited to tackle self-identified language issues, pertaining to the correct use of a word or phrase. Search thousands of high-impact articles to see how a specific word or phrase has been used in previously published manuscripts. You can seek appropriate synonyms for specific words in your manuscript, along with translation of words and phrases from your language to English. In cases where you cannot decide which word or phrase will best suit your statement, you can check for relative frequencies of those phrases, or words, in scholarly literature.
Submission readiness checker
This manuscript optimization tool assesses whether your paper is ready for journal submission and fast-tracks time to publication by providing suggestions to improve your manuscript. Within mere minutes of uploading your manuscript for a check, you receive a detailed report that highlight problem areas. This includes key language checks (including checks for grammar, mechanics and style, readability, and vocabulary) and 12 technical checks (including relevance of reference basis their age, self-citation checks, table and figure citations, and various forms of declarations) for your manuscript. While the free Lite report provides a more limited manuscript check, you can upgrade to a Pro report, which includes all the above checks plus comes with a downloadable edited file with suggestions as track changes.
