New Academic Proofreading Tool Available for SZTE Staff and Students
Writefull markets itself as ’a writing assistant containing everything a student is looking for’. Now this tool is accessible to all our students via the subscription of the university library (TIK).
Writefull uses the latest Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to give language feedback on scientific texts. It has been developed especially for students and researchers, and its feedback is tailored to academic writing. Its algorithms were trained on scientific and technical content only; the training data consists of peer-reviewed Open Access articles. Thanks to this focused dataset, the models give language feedback that is appropriate to scientific writing.
Writefull goes well beyond the tools provided by other grammar checkers. It offers a full array of automated language feedback – covering everything from wording, syntax, and grammar – catered specifically to the academic community to speed up the research writing process.
When you paste your writing, you can choose between “Proofread” and “Full Edit.” The Proofread option will correct small grammar, spelling, and style issues. Full Edit goes a step further and will rewrite your sentences so it sounds more formal. It improves sentences to enhance their fluency and readability, including word order, phrasing, clarity, brevity, tone, and more.
Writefull offers a set of other features too:
Sentence Palette: a browsable list of very common academic phrases across the various sections of research papers, to paste directly into a text
Language Search: a database with authentic language of scientific texts, to see how words and phrases should be used in context
Title Generator: produces AI-generated titles based on any abstract
Paraphraser: AI-generated rephrasings for any sentence at three levels: low, medium, or high. The higher the level, the heavier the rephrasing
Writefull Revise: checks the language quality of a text already written to ensure that any language mistakes are corrected
Writefull Cite: screens texts for citation completeness, highlighting sentences that should be supported by a reference
GPT Detector: a GPT plagiarism checker
Academizer: a widget to turn informal sentences into academic ones
Writefull can be downloaded from the Writefull website.

Latest news
The University of Szeged and MSD have established a joint Pharmaceutical Industry Partnership Department, marking a new chapter in their collaboration. This initiative builds on a long-standing partnership – further strengthened in 2023 through clinical trial cooperation – and seeks to foster innovation in research, education, and pharmaceutical development. The agreement was officially signed in Szeged by Prof. Dr. László Rovó, Rector of the University of Szeged; Prof. Dr. Ildikó Csóka, Director-General for Strategic Planning; Prof. Dr. Zsolt Szakonyi, Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy; Sean R. Smith, Managing Director of MSD Pharma Hungary Kft.; and Dr. Szabolcs Barótfi, Director of Clinical Research at MSD Hungary.
On May 12, the University of Szeged held an official ceremony to inaugurate its new research unit: the Host–Pathogen Interaction Center. Located within the Institute of Biology, the Center features Hungary’s only in vivo experimental station of its kind, alongside five newly renovated laboratories. This state-of-the-art facility is designed to support the development of antimicrobial therapies, with a particular focus on antifungal treatments – addressing a pressing yet often overlooked public health concern. The project was made possible through both professional and financial support from Katalin Karikó, an SZTE alumna and recipient of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
The origins of the University of Szeged date back to May 12, 1581, when István Báthory established the Jesuit College in Cluj-Napoca – an institution recognized as SZTE's legal predecessor. Exactly 444 years later, the University marked this anniversary with a symbolic “birthday gift”: the signing of two strategic partnership agreements. Supported by two of South America’s leading scientific and healthcare institutions, these partnerships are set to position SZTE among the global research elite in emerging and internationally significant fields of healthcare research and education.
