Write&Cite: Draft 3.docx
Literature Review

Prior work has largely treated citation retrieval and drafting as separate stages1, which forces students to context-switch between a reference manager and the document itself. More recent research on writing pedagogy2 suggests that keeping evidence attached to the sentence it supports improves both retention and argument structure3, the core premise behind this editor's citation-while-you-write design.

How We Teach

We Won't Hand You the Answers. We'll Teach You to Find Them Yourself.

Write&Cite doesn't summarize sources or draft your literature review. , because the skills like critical thinking and independent research will stay with you even after the paper's turned in. We make writing convenient for you, instead of taking it away from you.

For Teachers

Less Guessing Whether It's AI. More Actually Seeing the Work.

Instead of policing students with an AI-detection score, Write&Cite hands teachers the actual trail of drafts, reasoning, and version history, so you can see how a paper came together and step in as a collaborator, instead of working as a part-time (potentially unpaid) CIA agent.

Your all-in-one solution.

One Stress-Free Editor For All Your Academic Needs

Zotero, built in

Pull sources straight from your Zotero library, even without installing the Zotero app on your machine, cite-while-you-write, and let the reference list format itself.

Annotate as you read

Highlight, comment, and tag evidence right inside the document, so your reasoning and ideas become easier to track and follow.

Teachers can see the progress and the process

Every draft and version is on record, so feedback can be about the thinking, rather than becoming a guessing game about originality.

Export like Word and Docs

Easy pagesetup, headers and footers, page numbers, and more. Even simpler to export to a clean .docx or PDF when you’re done.
