RESEARCH PLAN FORMATTER

Research plan · Formatting

View an example formatted research plan

How does one formatting pass turn a finished draft into the standard Japanese layout?

  1. 01Paste the finished draft

    Paste the plan you have already written; only the text you paste is processed, and no other tool's data is read.

  2. 02Normalise structure and layout

    Headings, indentation, numbering, and citation style are unified to the standard you pick, while your argument is left exactly as written.

  3. 03Check it against the source

    The formatted draft is compared paragraph by paragraph with your original, and copying unlocks only when nothing was added, dropped, or reworded.

  4. 04Copy, then re-check the guidelines

    Word limits, section headings, and whether an English abstract is required differ by department, so check this year's guidelines after you copy.

WORKFLOW

Research proposal formatting workflow

4 steps

From pasting your finished proposal to a formatted draft whose copy button unlocks only after it matches the source.

WHAT FORMATTING WILL NOT DO

No added claims, no invented references, no wholesale translation. The check only compares the formatted draft against your original — it does not judge writing quality or certify any school's format requirements.

研究計画書

1　研究の背景と問題の所在

日本の大学における協同学習の実践は、二〇〇〇年代以降に急速に広がった。しかし、その効果検証は個別授業の事例報告に留まる場合が多い。

1.1　先行研究の整理

佐藤（1999）は、対話を軸とする学びの再構成を提起した。一方で、学習動機との関連を扱った研究は限られている。

参考文献

佐藤学（1999）『学びの快楽―ダイアローグへ』世織書房.

This standard touches only: heading levels and numbering, body indentation, reference spacing and punctuation. Not a word of the body changes, and each paragraph keeps its original language.

Senpai tips

Solid content — so why does the form lose points first?

Reviewers scan structure and register before substance: section order, consistent politeness register, citation discipline. This tool fixes form, never content — check these six first.

Copy the requirements before formatting

the guideline outranks any template.

Do not format around a missing part

background, problem, aim, prior work, method, plan.

Do not let background eat half the text

method and plan need about forty percent.

Use one register throughout

mixed styles are the easiest thing to flag.

Formatting must not change the claim

flag content edits for the applicant to confirm.

Inspect the final PDF for breaks and fonts

a clean editor view is not enough.
