Built by Researchers, for Researchers
Livewrite was created with a simple goal. To help researchers maximize their productivity and impact. Write, edit, cite, and format with the click of a button so you can focus on what really matters — the science.
Reformatting takes forever
Dr. Ross Prager, an ICU physician and clinical researcher, was publishing frequently—but writing, editing, polishing, and formatting was always a bottleneck. There had to be a better way. So he built one. Enter Livewrite.
Livewrite is an automated research assistant that works with you in MS Word to help researchers write, edit, polish, find citations, get automated peer review, generate reporting guideline checklists, and format manuscripts for any journals.
I'd finish a paper, but weeks would pass before I found the time to reformat and submit. Formatting wasn't hard—it was annoying, repetitive, and never urgent enough to make it to the top of the to-do list. After long clinical days, the last thing I wanted to do was edit line spacing or rearrange references.

With Livewrite, this is a problem of yesterday
Livewrite automates the entire manuscript generation process— brainstorming, writing, citing, editing, polishing, automated peer review, generating reporting guidelines & cover letters, and formatting for any journal. It's like a reference manager, but for the entire manuscript lifecycle.
Here's how it works.
Once we reformat your manuscript, it's ready for upload. You also get a journal-specific checklist to make sure nothing is missed.
