Does this skill work for fields outside of medicine?

Yes. While it includes specific medical reporting guidelines like CONSORT, its IMRAD structure and citation tools are standard across social sciences, engineering, and physical sciences.

Why does the skill strictly avoid bullet points in final drafts?

Most peer-reviewed journals require narrative prose to ensure logical flow and depth of argument. Bullet points are generally only used for specific technical lists in the Methods section.

How does the two-stage writing process work?

First, the skill creates a structured outline of key points and citations. Second, it systematically expands those points into full, connected paragraphs to ensure academic rigour.

Can I use this to format my references?

Yes, the skill supports various citation styles including AMA, Vancouver, APA, Chicago, and IEEE, ensuring consistent formatting throughout the manuscript.
