The review

Make your paper easier to follow

Refine reads your prose the way a careful reader would. It points out terms used before they are explained, ideas in the wrong order, unnecessary jargon and sentences that make the reader stop and re-read.

How it works

  1. 1

    Refine maps your concepts

    It works out which ideas the reader needs to hold, what each depends on and who your audience is.

  2. 2

    It finds where the reader struggles

    It checks the order ideas appear in, where jargon goes unexplained and where the prose gets dense.

  3. 3

    Each finding is double-checked

    A fresh pass removes anything invalid or redundant before the comments reach you.

Key benefits

Ideas in the right order

Find concepts you use before you have set them up.

Less unexplained jargon

See which terms your audience may not know, and where to define them.

Sentences that read once

Catch passages a reader would have to parse twice.

About your reader, not a style guide

Every comment says what a passage costs the reader, not what a rulebook prefers.

Example use cases

  • A paper written for a broader audience than your usual field.
  • A draft written by several coauthors in different styles.
  • A chapter rewritten so often it no longer reads smoothly.
  • A grant proposal read by reviewers outside your specialty.
