Write a research paper

Build the paper around the evidence. Keep the manuscript, source notes, and figures close enough that a revision does not mean reconstructing how you reached the result.

Start the manuscript

Choose an Article research starter in research project setup, or open a venue template. Pick LaTeX, Typst, or Markdown to match the document and submission you need.

For an existing draft, import the project and continue with its own source files.

Gather sources

Search by topic in Citation Search. Add the references you need to the bibliography, then keep short notes on what each paper establishes.

For a broader sweep, use /oleafly-literature-sweep. Give it the research question, date range, and inclusion criteria. Ask for identifiers and a source table you can check.

Draft with the evidence nearby

Write beside the PDF and use citation completion as you go. Link a reference folder if your PDFs live outside the project.

When a section needs revision, use an inline edit or ask the assistant to work from the relevant files:

Revise related-work.tex using the notes in research/. Group the papers by method, preserve the citation keys, and mark claims that still need evidence.

Add figures and results

Use the diagram composer for a manual diagram or ask the assistant for an editable AI figure. For numerical results, keep the analysis script with the generated tables and plots.

Review and submit

Run a claim check with /oleafly-verify-claims, read the evidence, and use Preflight to catch mechanical issues. Save a named Git commit for the submitted source, then export the PDF and required source files.
