Abstract---This study aims to discuss the effectiveness of the Grammarly online application in improving academic
writing through the experience of reviewing published papers. For that, we have reviewed a variety of literature and
listened to the experiences of other academics published in various international journals. We chose descriptive
qualitative content analysis. For example, it involves an in-depth analysis of each expert's experience with an
exploratory phenomenological approach. To do this, we involve a coding analysis system, critically evaluate the
content and ensure the results are valid and reliable. As for literature sources, we do with the help of the Google
Doc application, Eric Publications, Google scholars, and other online literature sources. We do this considering that
we did this study in a dynamic era and responded to the pandemic protocol and public restriction in Indonesia. We
follow the guidelines of descriptive qualitative studies experts in academic writing and application technology. The
result is that most academics say that the Grammarly online application is very suitable for use by writers because
its usefulness is beneficial in tracking writing errors.
Keywords---academic writing, authorship support, grammarly application, qualitative review.

Introduction

Before talking a little further, let us first understand what implementing online Grammarly does for a writer. As we
know, Grammarly checker software is an application that is used as a writing aid to support writers in checking for
various types of language errors or grammar errors in English. Ghufron (2019) said that Grammarly checker has a
role in assessing English writing mistakes. An elementary understanding of Grammarly's text work is to check the
text's spelling and then keep the tool's aim to keep typos out of context. So, it is an application that controls,
maintains, and maintains writing production to look right. So there will be more errors, and then it also provides free
plagiarism checks. Can detect errors in the academic field, such as plagiarism or data similarity from other online-
based data. So, Grammarly software does well while comparing to see similarities. Concerning the above idea,
Bailey & Lee (2020) also said that Grammarly checker software is relevant in the English writing learning context
(Lassoued et al., 2020).
A basic understanding of the functions of the Grammarly tool is to check for errors in written English. Its purpose
is to keep typos out of context. So this application controls or maintains the flow of writing correctly so that no more
errors come out (Qassemzadeh & Soleimani, 2016). Grammarly also provides writing assistance to correct grammar
errors and word spelling and is free from plagiarism. This tool can also detect lousy behavior among academics, such
as plagiarism, by looking at and checking other written data available online. So, this software Grammarly compares

with other online-based data detecting to see similarities. Then Grammarly did, and it is based on the experience they
like to check writing style. It will support writers such as automatic editing with real-time live-in feedback, which
makes skip tags like is understand communication very well. Sometimes, the Grammarly application gives correcting
errors, then yes, it adopts a specification model or writing style for what the author is doing. So academic or business
writers can choose the style and purpose of writing. All destinations as selected is up to the writer. It all depends on
what the user has set to be professional or personal, such as writing language for email and other social networking
(Zhang, 2020; Manullang & Satria, 2020).
In addition to what the Grammarly application software provides support, this tool also provides a grammar
check that is very useful for writers such as online activists with automatic direct support, such as bloggers for work
outside academy assignments or business people presentations and doing email or others (Barrot, 2020). Writing on
social networks is also possible for students and anyone who enjoys and wants to be effective at writing English.
However, as an academic, they have to choose something like formal English with an academic writing system and
bound by a formal writing system. So the writer must be like a correct punctuation mark presented by the Grammarly
application and then for those who like academics and have a particular target and foundation in academia. So this
Grammarly tool is what the authors say is used more by people outside of English-speaking countries. It is true that
many people, also then Americans and several other British countries such as UK, Canada, and Australia use this
practical grammar application. Even native English speakers or writers use this Grammarly check tool. This tool is
designed to establish better English writing. So there is no reason to claim that native English speakers have better
academic writing skills without using online academic writing apps nowadays. Like an automatic online writing
check tool used for large communities no matter native speakers or non-native English speakers. This is true since
the advent of various automatic grammar checkers (Cavaleri & Dianati, 2016; Amelia & Abidin, 2018).
Another question can also be like the two features; one Grammarly for free and Grammarly for a premium price.
Then the premium version, because it is paid, there is a difference between the limit and the unlimited service
(Cavaleri & Dianati, 2016). The free version seems very limited in that the application only shows mistake areas but
does not provide the automatic correction. Grammarly's premium version identifies errors and provides free
corrections with easy-to-click operation on highlighted areas. For this premium app, Grammarly works very fast by
automatically providing corrections. Its automaticity is also much helped according to the author's internet
connection speed. So this is different from most of us who work in the professional sector using such as grammar for
business which also offers various practices so that writers are speedy and make writing products look outstanding.
So we can also provide this application online, or users like to adjust what type of writing is being done. The
author, for example, is writing to send this work for a matter of minutes so they will efficiently work with practical
suggestions from the Grammarly application. Authors can also set options like doing purpose writing for informal or
formal contexts. Qassemzadeh & Soleimani (2016) also that the benefits of feedback provision by Grammarly
application and instructors on learning active structures. Then profile so it means language like English likes
information or writers can take turns to describe or want convincing or storytelling to trick the writer. The app also
advises whether it for the general or knowledgeable person paper or media expert is the part of Grammarly's work
relevant to improving academic writing.
Not for users who are new to this Grammarly tool, this tool can provide users an efficient way to operate this
tool, how to use this tool virtually even for new users like juniors who are not very skilled in this Grammarly tool
(Susskind & Susskind, 2015; Taylor, 2016; Chen et al., 2020). They also said that educators' future is also influenced
by technology that will transform academic and other human expertise. Writers can choose from a multitude of can
copy and paste material articles about anything and then put and pick them up straight away for spelling or grammar.
Users to read or anything like the property of other supporters and other options can be like not importing so that the
author can make such a big mistake and then check together. However, sometimes it seems like it works a little bit
slow compared to others. Like for example, a single page of material to go through quickly. Băutu & Băutu (2020)
said that the improvement on PlagZap, the fast and free academic work plagiarism detection method in higher
education. Grammarly works on importing files from Microsoft Word documents and then inserting them into
Grammarly and other options the user can also do using applications such as writing. It is like a genuine writer, but
more writers use the one option copy and paste and see suggestions or check what the author gives.
Writers usually experience suggestions and correction options from Grammarly, even minor improvement
suggestions. Ventayen & Orlanda-Ventayen (2018), Wilmore & Willison (2016) with the study the graduate
students' understanding of the utilities of Grammarly in academic. The writing looks good and is free of grammatical
errors, such as errors that occur automatically so that the author does not have time to correct them. Grammarly also
checks and modifies errors through documenting and making more corrections, or most of the corrections take a long
time without the advice of this app. This error usually occurs as a result of the author's negligence. However, if the
124

author chooses not to agree with it, then the writer can use the button. So, Grammarly premium app profile
suggestions are more detailed than the free ones, so in terms of mystique like errors or language functions in
sentence structure so this is very, very useful for us like nonnative English where they have good knowledge but they
are not good at writing so this tool is beneficial, but when the author is not too good at evaluating language. Parra
(2016) did see an automated writing correction application in the development of the writing exercises (Ellingson &
Noe, 2017; Xie & Yang, 2020; Hiremath & Patil, 2020). Similarly, these Grammarly tools can help writers even if
they offer writers with necessary grammar checks or these tools work with passive advice if writing is a little more
verbose, or they can provide a correction of something easy for readers to understand.
Apart from easy corrections, Grammarly also provides spell checking. It automatically provides the user with
more choices to do for the vocabulary and even gives the user a score if the writing is good enough. Grammarly
gives a score of up to 99 points (Cavaleri & Dianati, 2016; Koltovskaia, 2020). However, if the writer has terrible
writing, they only get a score of about 50, then correct it to be the highest. So writing is an estimate that the tool has
had time to analyze the text's content and initiate new sentence corrections. This Grammarly tool also detects the
similarities of millions of website contents freely, so the author likes to detect writing similarities, such as
plagiarism. They can provide the library's instant text, and writers can remember or reach out to operate it. That is
how to get home to work with similar texts from millions or online websites. This tool, wherever the author is on the
web for mobile Grammarly, can do parallel writing in the author's name. So users can also use social media on social
media, Google translate. A grammar application can go into many applications that work for users with editing
services in many ways (Akorede, 2020a; Xie, 2019).
Syafi’i (2020) noted, Grammarly software is an automatic online tool to support English writing. The Grammarly
application wants to connect the writer with grammar software that can provide assistance services when the writer
wants to improve academic papers in English or other writing goals. So it can be said that this Grammarly is for
writers for scientific or academic journal purposes. So when the author is working on academic writing, let us say in
academic English, of course, there are several ways or knowledge that journal writers still need. This is important for
improving academic writing in many ways. For example, there are two kinds of language styles and styles; active or
passive language. The writer needs one more dominant writing with an active voice (Kaushik et al., 2020). There are
times when the writer also uses the passive voice, but the author himself prefers to have a more active voice sentence
pattern because he feels the author's mind is more robust when using active voice; for example, the writer's presence
mind there is powerful. Therefore, the author prefers to follow the Grammarly application directions by using tools
to support the author in many contexts and problem content.
The sound design style is passive or active when the writer is confused about which one to choose, then the
presence of Grammarly's suggestions will help writers who have to pay attention to what if a wrong choice
sometimes results in misunderstanding and can reduce the quality of writing (Finlay, 2020; Wingate & Harper,
2021). Naturally, the writer is obliged to know which one is correct. If I can get it right without the help of tools, this
is good enough. What if junior writers, of course, quickly know which one is suitable. The author looks like that and
the writing style if the user can get the premium version of Grammarly. The Grammarly Tool can provide writers
with suggestions with an excellent English grammar structure. Considering that if the author is wrong and keeps
using the wrong one, this is very detrimental to the author. This is the use of this software to sharpen writers in
understanding its usefulness is very useful. Other supports that can be used from this application, such as when the
author writes an idea on paper, tends to be ideally controlled, such as the writer repeating to do it differently not to
repeat if it is wrong. In this point, Gain et al. (2019) noted that the usage of Grammarly's virtual application could
help with spelling checker tools at the work of academics and sciences. This tool can say in many ways so that the
writing looks perfect. Then this application also functions very well to improve writing styles such as writing or
guiding students to write concise language briefly in paragraphs with precise and concise sentences.
So writing in the academic field must be concise to the point and coherent. Wilkes et al. (2015) said that in
developing content literacy and academic composition skills through the group work design of an assessment task for
first-year engineering students. Then Grammarly also suggests using vocabulary variations. Moreover, do not repeat
the same thing even though the concept may be the same, but the writing needs tool support automatically, giving
writing a different vocabulary. This is what is right, and this is what will make the writing support the writer to avoid
putting like the same vocabulary, the same word, the same time, the same structure in the same context. This
application tool gives some suggestions. That is what relevant grammar application software does or responds to
what academic writing styles are like. One of them is a Grammarly tool to improve the quality of writing or English
academic style. In academic writing also keeps formal language different from everyday conversation. If you speak
the formal language, you will automatically be advised to use such formal vocabulary like Bintang sentences and yes
words, of course, vocabulary words that you cannot use. Like every day and like in social conversations like
 125

conversations outside the field, this is formal so take care. Academic writing must be efficient because academic
writing must be clear, focus briefly, and be written in a good structure, of course, placed like studies or evidence
from previous research to understand what the author is doing efficiently. Of course, sentences should not be too
complicated because when thinking is written in very complex sentences. It will be challenging for the writer to
understand it so that academic works do not need to use long sentences and very complicated words and vocabulary.
Wischgoll (2016) suggested that combining one cognitive and one metacognitive strategy improves academic writing
skills. Again, this is why academic writing has reason to be efficient at writing on the academic writing scale so that
we must work with grammar right. Then academic papers do not want to fail in the knowledge of giving correct
punctuation. Then like writing, he must be good at paraphrasing. Writers work, so when a tool reads a writer's ideas
like yes paraphrasing, it is necessary to be good at spelling; that is why the Grammarly application is used by
professionals and academics when working on formal writing.
When a writer thinks about writing skills, he can improve them from scratch until he has to learn from the basics
like this, which is right in real work, and reading further is like finding collaborative writing. He should go to more
workshops then choose an excellent good writing model. Then if the writer can write, that meets the requirements of
other writers. Such writers make more friends who do good academic writing—for example, going to improve the
quality of writing. So he does not have to ask how someone or an outsider learned to write. Some beginners can learn
to improve their writing to be the best academically because anything academic writing takes a long time to prepare.
Now the author is asking why such academic writing should have such a suitable style? It is essential because, of
course, it is essential. After all, many experts say that academic writing has a purpose. The aim is to express the
thoughts in academically correct language that is easy for the reader to understand. In the correct academic language,
the author can use written English to communicate his academic knowledge. So traditional science skills, so you
have to be able to use the writing in an academic style, he must be able to convince the audience so that others can
quickly learn the writing you think through convincing writing, okay writing and then it must be clear so doing it is
part of the way to convince readers.
Writing in academic should have right style academic writing also have has benefited water let us say being like a
writer and he thinks he can be easily understood because he writes it in academic writing fashion. So if he is doing
like university work, he gets excellent when he is doing good writing in excellent will be up if he is not a student
anymore, he is on the job or career. Of course, if he can communicate in writing form successfully support by
Google. Let us say if he a lectures university he can conduct his research and then his ability to write his journal, his
paper article, and then it is is a strength for him strong reason for him to be right that is a benefit.
As a writer works to produce good academic English, he needs way his simple way to improve academic English
besides using the useful application to improve his academic writing. Various expert has successfully suggested
several approaches, particularly English language authors they say expanding vocabulary is much more critical than
another way. Let us say how he can organize a much different variety of words with different words but the same
meaning. When he is in contact, he can use correct words do not repeat the same word, so he has to develop his work
the fluffy vocabulary in terms of structure in terms of its farm in a sentence in terms of meanings he spends the
vocabulary for meaning for the written form. For, let us say spelling of things, he has to learn words using it in the
contract, not depending on the same kind of work for every different contact.
Apart from expanding the vocabulary to improve his English writing, there are other ways also crucial for him to
be an active reading reader. So, he can practice his English through the more read, the better idea you can put in the
contract so regularly read from various reading or database information so learn to read and then put in words and
then please and then share this another way to improve academy English choose the right book or article, or any
particular or any platform can improve English in.
If he is right in vocabulary, he is good at reading; of course, he needs to improve the grammar. Thankfully, a lot
of grammatical check grandma take an improvement Grammarly to take a mistake correction software available
online. It can use to improve the grammar then better grammar will have excellent English writing, for example, use
the correct and use correct grammar use correct punctuation and be clean and writing and fluence a good in Thatcher
will be useful and writing so do it again after he writes and then improve it so increase by the day. Moreover, the
other way he can do it is to keep doing it repeatedly, eat again, and do not feel happy to improve it; write it, sit in
front of the computer, and prepare something to read something to write something to eat something to practice like
stop it.

Method

The methods and materials we use in this review study are systematic reviews to understand how the Grammarly
application that academics and professionals have widely used can be appropriately understood to improve writing
skills academically. The first step is collecting data from online search literature sources and visits to 40 scientific
journals that discuss Grammarly themes from different perspectives. Next, we analyze it by involving the Kedean
system, drawing conclusions that fulfill the principles of validity and reliability of the findings that have answered
the question. Our search for publications is dedicated to publications between 2010 and 2020 so that the data we
display is still updated. While the design of this study, we choose a qualitative descriptive method that is explorative
and phenomenological. This study relies on current data from the time of this study we were conducting; it was still
in a pandemic atmosphere, so we used the data from the previous penetrative findings. To obtain guidance, we
followed qualitative experts such as Bowler et al. (2018) with the theme of their study "Exploring youth information-
seeking behavior and mobile technologies through a secondary analysis of qualitative data."

Result

Irfan et al. (2020) study the innovative information application on scholastic composing English schooling study
program understudies. Mechanical information does not generally give benefits in scholarly composition. It might
influence the author's attitude to take an easy route in completing and checking their composition. The discoveries
showed that the members applied innovative information on scholastic, especially discovering references and
organizing thought. The members had a few issues in applying innovative information in academic writing.
Aidil (2021) investigated students' perception of the "Grammarly application" students' effectiveness concurred
that Grammarly was valuable for learning scholastic composition. The information showed that this program had
given free openness, programmed amendment, and helpful input. Four parts of scholarly composing that helped the
program were intricacy, objectivity, custom, and supporting. Two disadvantages were found in this program, like
misdirecting and over-checking. The discoveries were talked about into two points dependent on the exploration
questions and afterward dissected distinctly. The investigation was distributed in the online diary of the University of
Islam Negeri Ar-Raniry.
Rosyada (2016) studies how to improve students' basic tense in writing description text using the Grammar
checker Understudies of SMK IPT Karangpanas were shown utilizing the Grammar Checker Application. The
exploratory gathering's mean score improved from 64.6 to 80.27. The benchmark group's score improved between
64,73 to 77,67. Utilizing the t-test equation, the t-esteem was 3,375 and the t-table for σ = 5% was 2,0017. The
author infers a critical distinction of showing Simple Present Tense recorded as a hard copy spellbinding content
between understudies who were educated with Grammarly Grammar checker Application and the individuals who
were showing utilizing traditional instructing. He proposes that educators utilize this media to show Simple Present
Tense and apply it in their next homeroom exercises.
Tacoamán Portilla (2019) tested virtual composing guide programming to improve scholastic composing abilities
(Master's proposal, Universidad Técnica de Ambato. This examination planned to investigate the impact of a virtual
composing mentor programming on improving the English scholarly composing abilities in a gathering of Super-
Intensive Level understudies at the Languages Institute Espe-Inca Branch, Universidad de lasFuerzas Armadas,
Quito, Ecuador. An example of this exploration was 25 understudies. This examination depended on subjective and
quantitative methodologies. A semi-test configuration, otherwise called when configuration, was actualized. This
examination utilized a Classroom Action Research plan. It was done for about a month and a half. A poll, a
perception, a pre-test, and a post-test were utilized to gather the information. The virtual composing guide
programming Grammarly was utilized in the English class to create scholastic composing abilities. The post-test
showed improvement in understudies' scholastic composing abilities because of the exercises executed in the class.
Frankenberg-Garcia et al. (2019) building up a composing collaborator to assist EAP journalists with collocations
progressively. Journalists who need to quit writing to look into a word can be diverted from getting their thoughts
down on paper. ColloCaid project plans to address these issues by coordinating data on collocation with word
processors. We share the examination supporting the task's underlying improvement and framework the subsequent
stages in the exploration. We are gathering a lexicographic information base we are accumulating to help the
collocation needs of amateur clients of English for Academic Purposes (EAP).
Nova (2018) studied using Grammarly to evaluate academic composition through a narrative study on English
class learning experience. This analysis was structured to consider the qualities and disadvantages of the Grammarly
program as a mechanized composing evaluation program for the assessment of scholarly composition. The
 127

examination investigated three Indonesian postgraduate understudies' encounters by directing meetings and
documentation. The outcome showed that this program has furnished helpful shading coded criticism with
clarification and model. Notwithstanding, a few admonitions were additionally found in this program use, like a few
deluding inputs, shortcomings on recognizing the kind of English and reference rundown, and absence of setting and
substance assessment experienced. Further examination on the proficiency of the criticism in improving
understudies' composing quality is required.
Huang et al. ( 2020) studied the effectiveness of using Grammarly to develop students' English academic writing
skills. This contextual analysis's motivation was to examine the viability of utilizing Grammarly in EFL composing
during a 16-week trial period at a four-year college in China. The outcomes uncovered that understudies' composing
execution altogether expanded all through the multi-week intercession. This recommends that applying Grammarly
recorded as a hard copy class is a viable methodology for EFL understudies in creating composing abilities.
ONeill & Russell (2019) studied Grammarly system checking to help or prevention? Scholastic Learning
Advisors' perception of an on-line academic language checker. An investigation into robotized input innovation in
Australian tertiary organizations has zeroed in on the language structure checker, Grammarly. This investigation
expands on ONeill & Russell (2019) examination of understudy views of Gram Marry. Scholastic Learning
Advisors' (ALAs) view of the program was contrasted with customary input strategy utilizing Word. For 13 out of 15
articulations, the counsels utilizing Gram Marly concurred with all assertions about their language guidance's
adequacy. It is suggested that Gram marly ought to be utilized as an input apparatus for tasks related to an ALA, yet
just whenever utilized couple with a traditional criticism instrument.
Gain et al. (2019) studied the usage of Grammar-Online syntax and spelling checker platform at the Wellness
Science Library, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal: Grammarly is an online phrase structure and
spelling checker system obtained from the Health Science Librarian, Manipal Academy of Postsecondary Education.
The lion's share of the respondents who took an interest in the investigation was utilizing Grammarly for Microsoft
Office. The Study saw that clients utilize the device for various purposes like composing research papers, papers,
postulations, books, reports, and course papers. The vast majority of the clients utilized this apparatus due to the limit
of Microsoft word as found in the Study. Grammarly coordinates with Microsoft Office to show definitions and
equivalents through double-clicks and get context-oriented spelling and syntax ruins. It is one of the instruments
bought in by the Health Sciences Library to support up the scholarly composition.

Discussion

This section will discuss the main findings of this study, which aims to understand the evidence of the Grammarly
software application's effectiveness in improving the quality of academic and other organizational writers' skills that
involve writing activities, both personal and professional writing. The findings from the literature and publications
that we have reviewed have proven how useful and useful this digital-based application is. For example, the findings
of Irfan et al. (2020) who successfully studied how students of English school study programs have used this
innovative application of writing technology to prepare academic works, are essential. Mechanical information
generally provides benefits in scientific composition. This application can influence the writer's quality and attitude
for the right way to complete and check the composition. However, this application has shown that students can
apply innovative information about scholastics, especially finding references and adjusting their exposure to
thoughts. The participants had a few problems applying innovative information in academic writing; namely, this
application is the speedy way of working so that beginners will be overwhelmed by balancing and understanding the
entire content of the writing after being corrected by the Grammarly application, especially for those who pay a
premium price. Wajdi et al. (2018) also presented this original proof in the Grammarly Premium Version tutorial
format. Meanwhile, support and proof of this digital online application's effectiveness are, for example, Akorede
(2020) which proves in the 2020 Grammarly Review which says "Do not Buy Without Reading This."
Despite the findings that support our hypothesis, it turns out that other findings have succeeded in proving that
the Grammarly application does not only provide new help to users in the academic environment, but some words do
not help. The reason, according to ONeill & Russell (2019) is the Grammarly system examination to help but also
prevent the perception and understanding of scholastic learning advisors about online academic language correction.
Their evidence of robotic input innovation in Australian tertiary organizations has focused on examining language
structures. According to ONeill & Russell (2019) checking this machine regarding the views of students being lazy
to think critically is right. They suggest that this Grammarly application be used as an input tool for academic-related
tasks. Not all correction models are used in conjunction with traditional criticism tools. Other evidence was said by
128

Park (2019), Rachmawati et al. (2020) who studied an AI-based English grammar checker vs. human raters in
evaluating EFL learners' writing.
As for this application's impact after a long time of use, it should be noted that the dependence on such a large
amount of digital amnesia on the user, however, if this application is a balance between self-efficacy with practical
solutions. This application will be of fair use if used according to reasonable limits under experts' direction both in
language and other content. Many users discuss what they are doing with the application. Many do not remember
and do not understand deeply. Another balance between benefits and disadvantages with this Grammarly check
application in the current academic writing space after the program and asking students about correct writing
improvements.

Conclusion

Finally, we can summarize the results of this study after discussing the main findings where our goal is to understand
how effective the use of the Grammarly application is in programs to improve the quality of writing work in an
academic environment. By investing, the experts we have reviewed have provided the results of their studies, among
others. Those who support them say that the Grammarly application is handy because of its effectiveness in
providing corrections and other checks to accommodate many linguistic issues in writing academic standards and the
outside academic world.Those who are neutral advise o use this application as needed or as a stone tool open it
completely. While those who do not support them instead of saying it is very disadvantageous to remember students
or openly.
