Writefull Cite
Writefull is available to NWU postgraduates and staff. Use your NWU email and a password of your choice to log in.
Poor citing is a common pitfall of academic writing, leading to papers being discarded as not rigorous. Authors may forget to add citations where needed and unwillingly plagiarise. Writefull Cite helps to avoid this issue. Writefull Cite uses an AI model that evaluates the meaning of all sentences in a text and assesses for each whether it presents non-general knowledge that a reference should support.
Writefull Revise
Writefull is available to NWU postgraduates and staff. Use your NWU email and a password of your choice to log in.
Writefull Revise checks your text for language correctness against millions of published papers. Upload your document to see Writefull's language corrections.
