The StudyWise mini handbook

Work through one question, find evidence and write a paragraph you can reference.

1. Find evidence for your question

  1. Turn a broad topic into a question. For example, How does remote working affect communication in small teams?
  2. Search your university library for "remote work" AND "team communication". Try hybrid work or collaboration if you need different results.
  3. Read the abstract first. Check who wrote it, when it was published, how the evidence was collected and whether it applies to your question.

Try it: Save two promising sources. For each one, record the author, year, title, link or DOI, and the page you might use. Write one sentence on what the source helps you explain.

2. Build an academic paragraph

Make one point, support it with evidence, then explain what the evidence means for your question.

Point
Remote working can make quick clarification harder for small teams.
Evidence
Summarise what one of your sources found about how remote teams ask questions. Add your citation.
Explanation
If team members wait for replies, small questions may take longer to resolve. Explain whether the study’s teams are similar enough to yours for that finding to apply.

Try it: Read your paragraph back. Underline your main point and check that the evidence supports it. Add an explanation if the paragraph ends with the citation.

3. Cite in the text and list the source

Check your module guide for the required style. In this Harvard example, an in-text citation tells the reader where an idea came from. A full entry in your reference list helps them find it.

In-text citation
Fictional example: Regular check-ins can help remote colleagues ask questions (Patel, 2024). Cite the source even when you put the idea into your own words.
Direct quote
Use quotation marks and give the page number where available, for example (Patel, 2024, p. 18).
Reference list entry
Fictional book: Patel, A. (2024) Working well in remote teams. Example Press.

Before you submit: Match each in-text citation to a reference list entry. For a journal article or website, use your university’s example for that source type.

Good to know

A few common questions

Will you write my assignment for me?

No. StudyWise tutors provide guidance, tutoring, proofreading and study support. You develop and submit your own assessed work. Check your university’s rules on the help you can use.

What should I include in my enquiry?

Tell us your subject, the kind of help you need and your deadline. A short description is enough to start. Please don’t include passwords, student IDs or sensitive personal information.

How much does support cost?

Founder-led support is £25 for a 45-minute session. Each tutor’s listed price and duration appear on their profile. Request a session first; availability, scope and payment instructions are confirmed before a booking is made. A request does not take payment.

Are the free tools saved to an account?

No account is needed. The planner saves on this device when browser storage is available. Download a copy if you want to keep it elsewhere. Clearing browser data removes the saved plan.

What happens after I request a session?

Your request is saved securely for StudyWise to review. You’ll see a reference number when it succeeds. We’ll follow up by email to discuss availability. Sending a request does not confirm a booking or take payment.
