Springer Nature has announced the acquisition of innovative digital writing aid, TooWrite. This is the latest addition to the publisher's growing portfolio of digital solutions for academics designed to help improve their working lives.
Developed by researchers for researchers, the TooWrite platform streamlines and simplifies scientific writing by guiding researchers through the process as if they were answering a questionnaire. In addition, expert how-to guides are attached to each question, supporting researchers as if they had an editor by their side. By structuring it in this step by step way, researchers' time is freed up by making the writing process more efficient. Currently available to support the writing of abstracts (beta prototype), it is being developed to support the writing of full research papers.
As part of this acquisition, TooWrite’s co-founder and academic Ivy Cavendish will be joining Springer Nature in a newly created role, Head of Writing Solutions, where she will oversee the platform’s development.
TooWrite will sit as part of services offered as part of Springer Nature’s Research Solutions’ digital products. Ivy will remain responsible for its development, with the current focus remaining on building the platform to support thesis and paper writing, beyond its current abstract and application support.
