Julia B.Bachelor’s thesis, history
★★★★★
Revolutionizes academic writing
As a history student, I faced the mammoth task of finding relevant sources for my bachelor’s thesis and citing them correctly. Mimir Mentor was a game changer: the literature search engine and the automatic completion of reference data saved me hours of research. In addition, the AI-based proofreading improved my writing style and made sure my thesis was error-free and written in gender-inclusive language. An absolute must-have for every student!

Master of plagiarism detection
Thanks to Mimir Mentor, I was able to make sure that my doctoral thesis is free of plagiarism. The plagiarism search is incredibly thorough and gave me the confidence I needed before the final submission. In addition, the feature for finding sources for a statement in the text helped me back up my arguments with strong evidence. An invaluable tool for any academic work!

Dr. Michael S.Postdoc, pharmacology
★★★★★
Indispensable for researchers
As a postdoc in pharmacology, I am constantly looking for the latest studies and research findings. Mimir Mentor has revolutionized the way I research and manage literature. I am particularly impressed by the feature for finding similar sources and checking their quality with the SJR rating. The AI-supported rephrasing of sentences has also refined my academic writing. I can’t recommend Mimir enough!

Sophia K.Master’s thesis, economics
★★★★★
Last-minute rescue
Shortly before submitting my master’s thesis in economics, I discovered some critical errors. Thanks to Mimir Mentor, I was able to correct them quickly. The platform not only uncovered grammar and spelling mistakes but also suggested stylistic improvements. That improved my thesis considerably and ultimately got me a better grade.

Good but could be better
Proofreading is great, only the AI writing aid could be better. Sometimes strange suggestions.

Did not meet my expectations
The literature search often returns English results, not helpful.
