The App
Alekhni Writer
Your research companion — from a blank page to an original article, with every step tracked and explained.
Alekhni Writer is our web application built to help students write academic texts with ease of research. It connects directly to Zotero, tracks every change a student makes, and asks them to explain why they made it — turning revision into a habit of reflection, not just correction.
Features
Built for how research actually happens
Zotero integration
Sources stay organized and citable from the very first note, without leaving the page.
Tracked changes
Every revision is saved automatically — nothing a student writes is ever truly lost.
Explain your edits
Students annotate why they changed something, building the kind of metacognition real researchers rely on.
Original research, guided
Structured prompts carry a student from a research question to a finished article grounded in their own work.
How it works
From question to article
-
Define a research question
Start from genuine curiosity and narrow it into something answerable.
-
Gather sources with Zotero
Build a working bibliography as research happens, not after.
-
Draft with guided prompts
Structured prompts move the draft forward, section by section.
-
Revise, and explain why
Every tracked change comes with a short note on the reasoning behind it.
-
Submit to the Journal
Strong work moves forward for peer review and a DOI.
