How the pieces fit together
- Run Grammarly first for mechanical issues.
- Use Claude for structural and argument review.
- Copy approved text to Overleaf for final formatting.
- Export PDF and verify citations render correctly.
This stack only earns its keep when you actually follow the run order.
- Grammarly suggestions can flatten academic tone — accept selectively.
- Claude may rewrite your argument — use it for review, not generation.
- Overleaf templates vary by journal — check formatting requirements first.
