Brief

Researchers have introduced ScholaWrite, a novel dataset designed to capture the complete scholarly writing process. This dataset was collected using a Chrome extension that recorded keystrokes within Overleaf, documenting the multi-month journey from initial drafts to final manuscripts for five computer science preprints. The data includes over 62,000 text changes and provides insights into the cognitive demands and task-switching involved in academic writing, highlighting current limitations of LLMs in assisting this process.

Researchers have developed PaperMentor, a novel writing assistant designed to help early-career scholars improve their AI research papers. This human-centered system integrates expert advice with specialized agents to provide actionable feedback directly within Overleaf, distinguishing itself from basic grammar checkers. In a user study, PaperMentor's comments were rated highly actionable and valid, significantly outperforming a GPT-5.2 baseline. AI
