Hey friends,
I’m amazed by the latest developments in technology in terms of tools that can help researchers with many different tasks.
I recently conducted a webinar on how to use the Web of Science Research Assistant.
And I started exploring other tools as well.
When I first tried Jenni.AI, I wanted to see if it could help young researchers organize their ideas and help non-native English speakers write better.
I created this simple guide to help you use Jenni AI to write research articles quickly and effectively.
Let’s get started.

Step 3: Create a New Document
Click “New Document” to start a fresh research paper.
Step 4: Enter Your Writing Prompt
Type in your topic or research question. Example: the impact of budget cuts on scientific mobility and collaboration. I specify that this is for a research article and I also ask to get the standard headings in my manuscript. Note that Jenni.ai gives a rating bsased on how detailed the prompt is. So try to be as detailed as possible, to give more context to Jenni
Step 5: Set Up Document Preferences
Adjust settings in the top-right corner to match your needs:
Turn on Auto-complete – Get AI writing suggestions.
Choose a Citation Style – Pick APA, MLA, Harvard, and 1,700+ other styles to choose from.
