Updates
What's new
What we've improved lately, so you can finish your project faster.
Your real numbers, everywhere
Chapter 3 now follows how many questionnaires you really gave out.
Use everyone in a small group
If the group you are studying has 100 people or fewer, Chapter 3 can use all of them, with no formula. Taro Yamane is still there for large groups.
Match Chapter 3 to your real numbers, free
If you add your results and the number of questionnaires you gave out is different from Chapter 3, your chapters page offers to update Chapter 3 to match. It does not use one of your rewrites.
Change how you get your findings
Picked the wrong method, or did your supervisor change it? You can now change it on your chapters page.
Change your method any time
Under your progress on the chapters page, tap Change next to how you will get your findings, for example from a questionnaire survey to a class experiment. Chapters you have not written yet follow the new method.
Your supervisor's reference style, set for you
If your supervisor's outline says which reference style to use, such as APA 7th edition, your project now starts in that style. You can still switch it on your chapters page.
Free rewrites for Chapters 3 and 4
If Chapters 3 and 4 were already written for the old method, rewrite them for the new one without using any of your rewrites.
Paste your results, we do the maths
Adding your Chapter 4 results no longer means filling hundreds of boxes or working out averages by hand.
A short list of what to bring
Chapter 4 now tells you exactly which numbers it needs, in plain words: how many questionnaires came back, how many people are in each group, and how many chose each answer. Copy the list, gather the numbers any way you like, and paste them in one box.
Percentages, averages and Accept or Reject, worked out for you
Type or paste only your counts. We work out every percentage, response rate, mean, standard deviation and decision exactly, and show them to you before your chapter is written.
Supervisor corrections that reach every part of your project
One correction can change things in several chapters. Now the other places are found for you, and a name can be changed everywhere at once.
Places that still say the old thing are added to your list
When you accept a fix that changes a fact, such as removing an objective, we read the rest of your project. Any research question, summary or section that still matches the old version is added to your checklist, with the reason.
Change a name or word everywhere
If your supervisor wants a name used the same way everywhere, such as The Federal Polytechnic, Bida, Supervisor corrections changes it in your title, abstract and every chapter at once. You see every place first, and you can undo it.
Chapter 5 waits for your results
Until your Chapter 4 results are in, Chapter 5 does not describe findings. It leaves one short line for each finding, for you to fill in.
Neater references and an easier start
Author names in your reference list no longer appear twice or in capital letters. Typing a short school name, such as fed poly bida, now finds your school, and a polytechnic starts on HND.
Change the outline after your supervisor changes the plan
If the groups, the sample or the methods change after a chapter is written, you can update the outline and send that change to the chapters.
Update the outline
On the Chapters page, choose Update my outline. Paste the new outline or upload the Word file, then save. You can undo that change.
Chapters that used the old plan are marked
A chapter that is already written, and whose part of the outline changed, asks you to update it with Supervisor corrections or rewrite it. The new numbers replace the old ones when you do.
Send the changes straight to Supervisor corrections
After you save, Update my chapters opens Supervisor corrections with the new text already filled in. You can read it, then build the checklist as usual.
Papers for every part of your project
Research now looks up each part of your topic, and you can see it working.
Each part of your topic gets its own papers
If your project is about several things, such as a plant, a test, and an organ, we look for papers on each one. Chapter 2 then uses those papers in the matching section. A section with no matching papers is written in your own words.
See the search as it happens
The research page lists what it is looking up, then shows how many papers it kept and a few titles while the search is still going.
Your outline sets the headings while a chapter writes
If you gave a supervisor outline, the line under a chapter that is still writing uses those headings. When your outline already describes the methods, Chapter 3 follows them, and the extra questions stay optional.
Your supervisor's outline, and recent sources only
A detailed outline is followed in full, including the notes you already wrote, and you can keep sources to the last 5 or 10 years.
Upload a detailed outline
Paste your supervisor's outline or upload the Word file, notes and tables included. Each chapter expands what you already wrote, keeps your numbers, doses and groups, and follows the headings in order. A suggested figure or table is included too.
Recent sources only
If your supervisor wants sources from the last 5 or 10 years, choose that when you start. Research then keeps papers from that year onwards. A book or paper you add yourself is still kept, with a note if it is older.
Your supervisor's sources, and payments that unlock straight away
Add the papers and books your supervisor told you to use, and if you pay and your project stays locked, it now fixes itself.
Local topics get real sources too
If your topic is about a particular town, school, mosque, church or market, academic papers often don't exist. We now also look for trustworthy web pages about it, such as news reports and local government sites, read them, and only keep the ones that really discuss your topic. They're marked "Web page" in your research list and appear correctly in your reference list.
A methodology that fits your department
When you start a project, choose how you'll get your findings from options made for your field: historical research with records and oral interviews, analysis of novels or plays, legal research, annual reports and CBN figures, newspaper content analysis, a class experiment, a field trial and more. Not sure? We choose from your topic. Your Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 then follow the method your department expects, instead of a questionnaire by default.
Add the sources your supervisor gave you
Under your research results, or in References on your Chapters page, choose "Sources from your supervisor" and paste them in any style. We look each one up so its details are complete, then your chapters cite them alongside the papers we found. Books keep their publisher in your reference list.
Your payment always unlocks your project
Paying on your phone and coming back in a different browser used to leave some projects locked. Your project now unlocks wherever you come back, and your Chapters page checks again by itself if the payment took a moment to go through.
Already paid? Check it yourself
On the payment page, "Already paid but still locked? Check my payment" looks up your payment and unlocks your project in a few seconds. Starting a payment again also checks first, so you're never charged twice.
Edit your chapters, bring back your Word changes
Change any paragraph yourself without losing your citations, upload the version you edited in Word, and work through supervisor corrections one clear step at a time.
Edit your chapter text yourself
Open a written chapter and choose "Edit the text yourself". Tap any paragraph or list to change it. Citations stay as small locked tags, and "Add citation" lets you pick from your papers, so your reference list stays correct. If you remove a citation, we ask before saving. Your old version is kept in the chapter's history.
Edited a chapter in Word? Upload it
Under each written chapter, "Upload your latest version" reads your Word file, shows you what it found, and makes it the version on MonoEd once you confirm. Your next fixes, chapters and downloads then use the text your supervisor actually read.
Supervisor corrections, one step at a time
The corrections page is now four clear steps: bring in your Word changes, add your supervisor's comments, work through each fix, then check and download. Each fix opens right where you tap it, and the next one opens when you finish.
Chapters that stopped early get finished
If writing is cut off before the end, it now carries on by itself. If a chapter you already have stops mid-sentence, you'll see "Finish this chapter" on it. It adds only the missing part and doesn't use one of your rewrites.
Fuller reference lists
When you download, missing volume, issue and page numbers are filled in from each paper's official record, so your references look complete.
Faster help when something goes wrong
If an error appears, it now comes with a short code. Send it to us on WhatsApp and we can find exactly what happened.
Your results, your way, and five new free tools
Adding your real Chapter 4 results is much easier, your next step is always clear, you can download an AI use disclosure, and there are five new free tools.
Paste your Chapter 4 results
No need to fill every table cell. Paste a summary of your results or your SPSS output, and Chapter 4 is rewritten around your own figures. Anything you leave out is marked clearly instead of being guessed. You can still fill the tables in if you prefer.
Download an AI use disclosure
If your department asks how AI was used, download a statement built from your project's own record: the papers found, the chapters drafted, and the details and results you supplied. Add it as an appendix or download it on its own, then fill in the few parts only you can answer.
Your dashboard shows your next step
Your latest project sits at the top with a progress bar and one clear button: write the next chapter, unlock, add the abstract or download. Unpaid projects keep their free chapters one tap away.
Open your dashboardA calmer Chapters page
The next step comes first, each chapter shows its pages and anything left to fill in, and long chapters open as a preview you can expand. On a phone, the page is about a fifth of its old length.

Real data, easier corrections and a better preview
Chapters 3 and 4 now use your own details, supervisor corrections are easy to find, and the preview helps you check everything before you download.
Chapter 3: answer a few short questions
Instead of a blank box, answer short questions: where, who, how many, how you'll pick them and how you'll analyse the data. Enter your population and a Taro Yamane button works out your sample size.
Chapter 4: fill in your tables with real figures
Type your figures into Chapter 4's own tables and the chapter is rewritten with them, exactly as you typed them. Adding results doesn't use up one of your rewrites.
Download one chapter, or Chapters 1 to 3
Download a single chapter, your proposal chapters, or any chapters you choose as Word, with an optional cover page.
A preview that tells you what to check
See your pages, references and a 'Before you submit' list of anything still to fill in, then download without scrolling through the whole project.
Supervisor corrections are easier to find and use
Fix supervisor corrections now appears on your dashboard, Chapters page and preview. Paste or photograph your supervisor's comments, and only the parts they flagged are rewritten, with every change shown before you accept it.
Free research calculators
Sample size (Taro Yamane and Cochran), Cronbach's alpha, Likert scale mean and chi-square, each with a paragraph you can adapt for your chapter.

Your school, your degree, your field
Title pages now match your institution and degree, and chapters fit your field better.
Your exact degree on the title page
Choose the award your school prints, such as B.Agric, LL.B, B.NSc or NCE, or type your own. It appears on your title page, certification page, Word file and slides.
Your school's crest, added for you
The University field is now Institution, so it fits polytechnics and colleges. Crests for more than 150 Nigerian institutions, including open and online universities, are added automatically.
Better chapters for health and life sciences
Public Health, Nursing and similar departments get Research Methodology in Chapter 3 instead of a lab-style Materials and Methods, unless your study is an experiment.
Data guides and defence slides
See what data to collect for Chapters 3 and 4, with ready collection documents when your project needs them. Defence slides are now widescreen, fit their text, and keep space for your own photos.
