Write a research paper

An end-to-end walkthrough: set up a project, gather sources, draft with the Full Draft Writer, cite, and verify — then export to Word.

This guide takes a research paper from an empty project to a cited, Word-ready draft, using the core Multilo workflow. Follow it once and the rest of the app will make sense.

1. Set up the project

  1. Create a project

    Click New Project and give it a name. This folder will hold your draft, sources, and notes. See your first project.
  2. Set your voice and integrity (optional)

    Teach Multilo your author voice and turn on strict integrity so the AI writes like you and never fabricates a citation.

2. Gather sources

Add the papers and data you already have to the project library, then open Sources Hub to mine references from those papers and search the web for gaps. A few minutes here makes everything downstream better-cited.

3. Draft the paper

Run the Full Draft Writer: give it your topic, a target length, and any structure you have in mind. It plans an outline, then drafts section by section, streaming into the editor with citations as it writes. Steer it as it goes, or ask it to redo a section.

You stay the author

Treat the draft as a strong first pass. Edit it in your voice, use inline suggestions to tighten prose, and reshape sections as needed.

4. Cite and verify

Set your citation style (APA, IEEE, Harvard, MLA, or Chicago), then run Claim Check as your final pass. It confirms each citation against its source and proposes a stronger source where one is weak — the step that makes the paper trustworthy.

5. Export to Word

Save back to .docx. Your supervisor or journal gets an ordinary Word document with headings, footnotes, tables, and citations intact — no sign of the tooling underneath.
