Free thesis tools
Calculators, templates and checkers that run in your browser.
These tools are for the small jobs that come up in nearly every thesis. You can find your sample size, check reliability of your scale and see which statistical test to run. Others format a reference or set up a Word template. Everything runs inside your browser itself, and most of them doesn’t send anything to us. If a tool uses AI, it tells you so before you press the button. Sometimes a tool gives a number and you are not sure about it. Send us that number and we will go through it with you.
