Scribo is an interactive tool which supplies the student writer with suggestions and information on research papers and library searches. With a dialogue of 28 questions sequenced to supply the work-in-progress, Scribo helps the student to process his/her initial ideas and structure the research. Scribo further assists with supervision and helps the student conduct a literature search. With the assistance of the software, the student will be better equipped to write a research paper and meet with supervisors and research librarians.

Scribo is based on the idea that at higher levels of education, papers should be written following the norms of scientific research. Students should attempt to conduct their own research and writing according to the most rigorous standards. The precepts guiding this software have been adapted from the textbook, Den gode opgave, Rienecker & Stray Jørgensen, Samfundslitteratur, 2005. The book is available in Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Lithuanian.
