What Academic Writing Toolkit does in ChatGPT
The Academic Writing Toolkit plugin helps you review academic writing that you paste into ChatGPT. It is a set of checks rather than a writer: it looks over your draft and your notes and points out problems for you to fix.
It can compare the citations in your draft with the source lines in your reading notes to see whether they match. It checks spelling against a conservative British English standard and flags logic problems at the level of each paragraph. It can also check BibTeX records for errors without going online.
Finally, it can create a standard reading-notes template in Markdown, which gives you a consistent place to record sources as you read. The listing is short, so it does not say which citation styles or file types it supports beyond these tools.
