You'd be silly not to

I have been using scribbr for the last year and I recommend this website to everyone I know. As a university student this has changed the game. The integration with AI and the shortcuts to adding sources to the reference list is so helpful and efficient. Very rarely do I have to edit the reference it has generated (I still double check it is). So easy to learn AND ITS FREE

It is a great help and I like this one

It is a great help and I like this one. Though it does not do everything I need, I still like its simplicity.

Thank you for a complete job and good…

Thank you for a complete job and good review

The editing was very good

The editing was very good, on time, and the process was very simple.

It is a great resource - with a few issues

It is a great resource, there are some occasional glitches in formatting the compiled data appropriately, but overall, it's a fantastic product! The small gripe I mentioned is a reminder of why I never rely on any AI-generated citation without question. Always look over the citations and manually edit any errors. It's a tool to save time and it works wonders when used correctly, but it shouldn't be a crutch or a replacement for understanding how to compose a proper citation.

This site is user-friendly

This site is user-friendly, and I generally find any reference I want. As an advanced study student, this is very important for time management.

Professionalism and prompt service

Above all the kindness and willingness to help me with any question I had. Martina sent me a very detailed Feedback and this helped me to understand and for future work on what I will need to look out for . Thank you again Martina and the whole Team, you are amazing 🥰🥰🎉🎉

KIS Academics considers the upholding of academic integrity to be the responsibility of all employees within the company, as well as all private tutors.

These fundamental values are the basis on which principles and behaviours within the scope of academic integrity are developed. For the purpose of this policy, academic integrity is the moral and ethical code of conduct related to the use, generation and communication of information in an honourable, fair, and responsible manner.

e-rater ®  Scoring Engine

Evaluates students’ writing proficiency with automatic scoring and feedback

Selection an option below to learn more.

About the e-rater Scoring Engine

The e-rater automated scoring engine uses AI technology and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to evaluate the writing proficiency of student essays by providing automatic scoring and feedback. The engine provides descriptive feedback on the writer’s grammar, mechanics, word use and complexity, style, organization and more.

Who uses the e-rater engine and why?

Companies and institutions use this patented technology to power their custom applications.

The e-rater engine is used within the  Criterion ®  Online Writing Evaluation Service . Students use the e-rater engine's feedback to evaluate their essay-writing skills and to identify areas that need improvement. Teachers use the Criterion service to help their students develop their writing skills independently and receive automated, constructive feedback. The e-rater engine is also used in other low-stakes practice tests include TOEFL ®  Practice Online and GRE ®  ScoreItNow!™.

In high-stakes settings, the engine is used in conjunction with human ratings for both the Issue and Argument prompts of the GRE test's Analytical Writing section and the TOEFL iBT ®  test's Independent and Integrated Writing prompts. ETS research has shown that combining automated and human essay scoring demonstrates assessment score reliability and measurement benefits.

For more information about the use of the e-rater engine, read  E-rater as a Quality Control on Human Scores (PDF) .

How does the e-rater engine grade essays?

The e-rater engine provides a holistic score for an essay that has been entered into the computer electronically. It also provides real-time diagnostic feedback about grammar, usage, mechanics, style and organization, and development. This feedback is based on NLP research specifically tailored to the analysis of student responses and is detailed in  ETS's research publications (PDF) .

How does the e-rater engine compare to human raters?

The e-rater engine uses NLP to identify features relevant to writing proficiency in training essays and their relationship with human scores. The resulting scoring model, which assigns weights to each observed feature, is stored offline in a database that can then be used to score new essays according to the same formula.

The e-rater engine doesn’t have the ability to read so it can’t evaluate essays the same way that human raters do. However, the features used in e-rater scoring have been developed to be as substantively meaningful as they can be, given the state of the art in NLP. They also have been developed to demonstrate strong reliability — often greater reliability than human raters themselves.

Learn more about  how it works .

About Natural Language Processing

The e-rater engine is an artificial intelligence engine that uses Natural Language Processing (NLP), a field of computer science and linguistics that uses computational methods to analyze characteristics of a text. NLP methods support such burgeoning application areas as machine translation, speech recognition and information retrieval.

• Category: Free essays

Moscow is the capital and largest city of Russia. It is the fourth largest city in the world, and is the first in size among all European cities.

Moscow was founded in 1147 by Yuri Dolgoruki, a prince of the region. The town lay on important land and water trade routes, and it grew and prospered. During the 1200’s, Tartar invaders from Asia conquered Moscow and other Russian lands.

Moscow grew rapidly during the 1600’s. The czars built palaces in the Kremlin, and nobles built mansions. New churches and monasteries arose, and industries developed. In 1703, Peter the Great began building a new capital at St. Petersburg. But Moscow remained an important center of culture, industry, and trade. In the fall of 1812, invading French Troops under Napoleon I entered Moscow without a struggle. Most of the people had left the city. Soon afterwards, a fire destroyed most of Moscow . After 35 days, the French troops left the city and began a retreat through the snow and cold.

In the 1917 revolution, the government fell to the Bolsheviks. They moved back to Moscow in 1918 capital.

Moscow lies in the north-central part of the European section of Russia. The Moscow River flows through the city. Moscow is built in the shape of a wheel. At the center of the wheel stands the Kremlin. This old fortress is the center of the Russian government. Inside its walls are beautiful cathedrals and palaces, as well as government buildings. Some of them date from the 1400’s.

Red Square lies just outside the Kremlin wall. It took its name in Russian from an old word meaning both beautiful and red. There, huge military parades celebrate special occasions. Thousands of people line up daily at the Lenin Mausoleum to view the preserved body of Lenin.

Opposite the Kremlin on Red Square is GUM, the largest department store. Saint Basil’s Church is also on Red Square. This 400-year-old building is part of the State Historical Museum. The Russia Hotel, one of the world’s largest hotels, faces the Kremlin near Red Square.

Muscovites are proud of their subway system, called the Metro. The city has more than 70 subway stations, which look like palace halls and are the fanciest in the world.

Muscovites have many facilities for recreation. Luzhniki, a huge sports area, includes Lenin Stadium, which can seat about 103,000 persons. Every year, about 7 million people go to Gorki Park, Moscow’s most popular amusement center.

The Bolshoi Theatre presents ballets that many people consider Russia’s highest artistic achievement. Young dancers are trained at the Bolshoi Theatre’s school. The nation’s largest symphony orchestra performs at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory. In addition, Moscow has a number of famous drama theatres, such as the Maly and Moscow Art theatres.

The city has about 150 museums and art galleries. Dazzling treasures that belonged to the czars are displayed in the Armory Museum in the Kremlin.

Moscow State University is the largest university in the country. It was established in 1755, and has more than 30,000 students. Moscow has more than a thousand elementary schools and high schools, and over 80 specialized institutes.

About 3,000 main and branch libraries operate throughout Moscow. The Lenin State Library, the largest library in Russia , has one of the largest collections of books and manuscripts in the world.

Moscow is also the most important industrial city in Russia. Its factories produce a wide variety of products, but chiefly automobiles, buses, and trucks. Other important products include chemical, electrical machinery, measuring instruments, steel, and textiles.
