How it works
Your step by step guide
Follow these seven steps from topic to submission. Each step tells you what to do and exactly how to do it.
Enter your topic
Type your research topic into the search bar above and press Design my research.
Be specific, e.g. The impact of remote learning on undergraduate engagement. A focused topic produces a more tailored design.
Review your research design
Scholarly generates a methodology, data collection methods, analysis techniques, sample, ethics, and timeline.
Read the summary first, then check each section. Note any methods you would adapt for your own context.
Arrange your facts
Follow the structural outline to see which facts go in each section and how to group them logically.
Use the grouping principle and transition tips to move smoothly from one section to the next.
Find your research gap
Review the identified gaps and use the strategy to pinpoint what makes your work original.
Search the recommended databases. Choose one gap that excites you and aligns with your resources.
Save as a project
Click Save as project to turn your design into a working project in your dashboard.
This stores your topic, design, outline, and gaps as a draft you can keep developing.
Add your citations
Open the Citations tab and add your sources. Choose APA, MLA, Chicago, or Harvard style.
Switch between referencing styles at any time using the style toggle. Every reference is formatted instantly.
Export to Google Docs
When your draft is ready, export it to Google Docs for final polishing and submission.
Use the Draft and Export tab. Your linked Google Doc stays in sync as you save updates.
