A research-paper polish that respects the boundary between editing and rewriting. Citation-aware (in development). Methods-section disciplined. Tuned to the style of Nature, JAMA, ACM, and 11 other journal families.
Rewritelyapp never rewrites a sentence that contains a quantitative claim, a citation, a method name, or a defined variable. These pass through untouched, even when they read awkwardly.
Citation keys, in-text references, and DOIs are extracted and reinserted character-for-character. We don’t ‘normalize’ them, reformat them, or guess at them.
Most polish tools push active voice everywhere. Methods sections require passive voice in 9 of our 14 supported journals. Rewritelyapp respects that.

In this study, we have investigated the effects of FOXP2 mutations on song production in Taeniopygia guttata, leveraging a comprehensive computational pipeline to facilitate downstream analysis. Our findings demonstrate that there exists a statistically significant relationship between the mutation status and song variability (p < 0.05) as previously suggested by Smith et al. (2019).
We examined how FOXP2 mutations alter song production in Taeniopygia guttata[1]. Mutation status was associated with increased song variability (p < 0.05)[2], consistent with Smith et al. (2019)[3].

When you upload a paper, we segment it: Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion. Each section gets a different polish budget, Methods is the most conservative by design.
In a Methods section, the polish process is restricted to three operations: (1) tightening transitional phrases, (2) replacing nominal-phrase padding, and (3) standardizing tense agreement. Sentence-level rewrites and active-voice conversion are disabled. If you want them, you have to turn them on explicitly, with a warning.
We segment your paper using header detection + a fine-tuned classifier. You can override the segmentation if our detection is wrong.
Abstract: aggressive polish. Introduction: standard. Methods: conservative. Results: claim-preserving. Discussion: standard.
Every (Author, Year), [12], and \cite{key} is extracted into a citation table, replaced with a placeholder during polish, and reinserted bit-perfect after.
You receive a per-section change log: how many edits per section, what strategies were applied, and any sentences we refused to touch because they crossed a guard rail.
“I run a small lab. We can’t afford a copy editor on every manuscript. Rewritelyapp cuts roughly 11% off our typical word count without losing a single claim, and the audit log means I can defend every edit at review.”

“The Methods-section guard rails are the only reason I trust this on my work. Most polish tools want to make my Methods sound ‘active and engaging’. Reviewers don’t want that. Reviewers want it boring.”

“I sit on three editorial boards. I’ve seen what badly-polished AI text reads like. Rewritelyapp’s output reads like a careful non-native English speaker who got a thoughtful edit. Which, of course, is what most of my students need it to look like.”
