Tools for academic writing

This page lists tools (software, application, systems and resources) that can help with academic writing, including writing an essay, a report, a thesis, or a journal article.

As an Aalto student or researcher, you have access to a range of tools, including those already installed on Aalto computers, as well as those downloadable to your personal devices and made available by IT Services.
