AI paraphrasing for academic writing
Paraphrasing — restating information in your own words — is a core academic skill that demonstrates understanding, avoids over-quotation, and is essential for synthesising multiple sources. This tool offers three modes: Academic preserves technical terminology while restructuring sentences; Simplify reduces reading level for lay summaries or public-facing text; Concise reduces word count for journals with strict limits.
When to paraphrase vs quote
Quote directly only when the exact wording is significant — a legal definition, a diagnostic criterion, or a statement where precision matters. For everything else, paraphrase. Most journal style guides recommend minimising direct quotations in scientific writing.
Responsible use and attribution
Paraphrasing without citing the original source is plagiarism, even if every word is different. Always cite. Review AI-generated paraphrases carefully — AI can subtly alter meaning, especially with numerical data, negations, and qualified claims. Check your institution's academic integrity policy before submitting AI-assisted work.
