2. Onboarding: two quick steps
Section titled “2. Onboarding: two quick steps”Step 1: choose your academic level
Section titled “Step 1: choose your academic level”You pick one of four levels:
| Level | For |
|---|---|
| Diploma | Practical project reports with simple data collection and interpretation |
| Undergraduate | Bachelor’s degree: research proposals, coursework, final-year projects |
| Master’s | Master’s degree: dissertations, journal articles, conference papers |
| PhD | Full theses, publications, original contributions to knowledge |
This is the most important setting in the product. It changes the analytical depth, the writing style, the expected length, and the standard ResearchDoom holds your work to. Read Choosing your academic level before you pick, and note that once your trial starts you can move down a level yourself but not up.
Step 2: your profile (optional)
Section titled “Step 2: your profile (optional)”Add your name, institution, and field of study. If you are in a health field (medicine, nursing, pharmacy and similar), set your health programme, which tailors the Health & Medicine study tool to your course. Set your citation style too; it defaults to APA 7th and you can change it any time.
3. Your free trial starts automatically
Section titled “3. Your free trial starts automatically”When you finish onboarding, your 3-day free trial begins. You do not have to do anything. It gives you enough tokens to try every tool and write up to two chapters. See The free trial for exactly what you get.
4. Master’s and PhD: one extra screen
Section titled “4. Master’s and PhD: one extra screen”Master’s and PhD accounts see a one-time choice between “just writing” and “writing and supervising”. Most students should choose “just writing”. If you review other people’s work, see Supervisor Mode. It is a separate, separately-paid product you can also turn on later from Settings. Diploma and undergraduate accounts never see this screen.
5. Run your first task
Section titled “5. Run your first task”You land on the Home dashboard, with tools grouped by research stage: Everyday · Plan · Write · Refine · Finish. Tap the ? on any tool card for a full explanation and worked examples.
Good first tasks:
- Outline Generator (Plan): turn a topic into a full thesis structure.
- Study Tools (Everyday): improve a paragraph, check grammar, revise a concept. This one stays free after your trial.
