Draft · Why some students panic before exams

A biopsychosocial view of exam panic

Nearly all students find exams stressful, and a racing heart is usually read as a bad sign. Students taught that stress arousal is useful reported less exam anxiety and scored higher (Jamieson et al., 2016).

Who is most at risk matters too. Anxiety sensitivity predicted spontaneous panic attacks during a stressful five-week period (Schmidt et al., 1997), which suggests…

  • CitationTyped @Jam, picked the paper. The reference list updated itself.
  • SourceAdded from Find papers. Free to read, so Scriva read it in.

Heard this before?

“It's somewhere in my downloads.”

Research doesn't get lost. It gets scattered across a search tab, a PDF reader, a chatbot that can't see your files, a document and a citation generator. You remember the idea, not where you read it.

Worried AI will invent a citation?

An AI that would rather say “I don't know”.

Ora, Scriva's AI assistant, only answers from the papers in your project. Every point links to the passage it came from, so you can check it in a click. And your work is never used to train AI.

Questions.

For a thesis, a feature, a grant or a newsletter: if you write it from sources, Scriva is for you.

What is Scriva?

Scriva is an AI research and writing tool. You find the papers you need or bring in your own as PDFs, Word files and web pages, search across them for the passage you half remember, and write your draft in the same window. Ora, Scriva's AI research assistant, answers questions from those sources and shows the passage behind each answer.

Can I find new papers in Scriva?

Yes. The Find papers tab searches 250 million scholarly works, including papers from PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv and medRxiv, from inside your project, and Ora can search them for you in chat. Papers with a free full text add themselves to your sources in one click, and Scriva reads them so you can search, ask about and cite them straight away. Paywalled papers you can still find and open at the publisher, then add the PDF yourself.

Can I chat with my sources?

Yes. Bring in your PDFs, Word files and web pages, then ask Ora about one source or your whole project. Each answer is drawn from your own sources and points to the passage it came from, so you can check it.

Which citation styles does Scriva support?

APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE and Vancouver, with more on the way. Type @ in the editor to cite a source, and Scriva keeps the bibliography up to date as you write.

Does Ora make things up?

Ora answers from the sources in your project, not from the wider internet. If your sources do not cover a question, Ora says so instead of guessing.

How is Scriva different from ChatGPT, NotebookLM or Zotero?

It brings the best of each into one workspace. Ask an AI about your work, as you would in ChatGPT. Get answers grounded in your own sources, with the passage behind each one, as in NotebookLM. Keep your library and build the bibliography, as in Zotero. And all of it happens in the editor you write in, so one tool does the job of all of them.

Can I export my draft to Word?

Yes. Export to Word, PDF, LaTeX or Markdown, with your citations and bibliography included.

Can I write with my supervisor or co-authors?

Yes. Share a document or a whole project and edit together in real time. You can also send a link to someone without an account.

Is my unpublished work private? Is it used to train AI?

Your documents are private to you and the people you share them with. Your work is never used to train AI models, and we never sell your personal data.

Is Scriva free?

Yes. Scriva is free to use, and no card is required.
