Auto-Peer analyses your paper for numerous writing issues.

It is only a PEER REVIEW though. It is up to YOU - the writer – to decide if the sentences and text that Auto-Peer has highlighted need any modifications.

​

Auto-Peer does supply explanations, but writing is an ART … so some of the issues it highlights MAY be perfectly OK. Again, it’s up to YOU - the writer – to decide whether changes would improve the paper.

 

If you spot any errors, problems, or issues with Auto-Peer, please email us as pmccarthy@aus.edu

If you have any suggestions, please also let me know! :)

 

The current version of Auto-Peer is 1.0.  As 1.0 suggests, we are just at the beginning stage. Many improvements will be made. We’re only releasing it this early because so many people said they wanted it. As such – sorry for any issues – and sorry it ain’t all that pretty yet … we’re working on it!
