How to draft a manuscript

Choose the IEEE mode and tone, choose what to include, press Write manuscript, confirm that you have checked your results, then read the draft section by section, verify every number and reference, and rewrite it in your own words. The manuscript can be created only once per project.

The manuscript draft is built from your results, so it is only as good as the run behind it. Use it as raw material and make it yours.

Before you start

  • Results checked in Code execution
  • A decision on journal or conference mode

Steps

  1. 1

    Choose the mode and tone

    IEEE mode: Journal (IEEE Transactions) or Conference. Tone: Formal, or Plain and direct.

  2. 2

    Choose what to include

    IEEE LaTeX source, an AI-use statement and a cover letter draft.

  3. 3

    Check the sources

    EasySeer lists what it will use: context.docx, the generated code, your results and your base papers.

  4. 4

    Press Write manuscript

    A dialog says the manuscript can be created once. Choose Check results first to go back, or Results are OK, continue.

  5. 5

    Read and verify

    Use the outline to move through the draft. Check every claim against your results and open every reference. Claims with no result behind them are listed in manuscript/completion_report.md.

  6. 6

    Edit and make it yours

    Press Open in Word to edit, and rewrite the text in your own voice.

Tips

Compare every number with the results files

Rewrite introductions and discussions in your own voice

Add your own interpretation and limitations

Common mistakes

  • Submitting the draft as it is
  • Trusting suggested references without opening them
  • Leaving out the AI-use disclosure your journal requires

Questions

Can I write the manuscript again?

No. It can be created once per project. An interrupted run can be continued, so check your results first.

Can I still change my input files?

No. Once the Manuscript step starts, the inputs and the project folder are locked.
