Student achievement and professional success depend on students' abilities in academic writing. In the higher education institutions, students are tested on their writing abilities by completing academic writing written in a variety of writing styles. This EzArticle software was created to help students and researchres get better at writing, better arrange facts, and better organise data used in academic writing. It was designed to be a quick, simple, and user-friendly method for organising the data collected in the academic literature, which may then be used in writing. The programme also facilitates the tabular presentation of data and concepts, which may be easily sorted and reorganised to meet the needs of a variety of situations and projects. In this study, 280 software end-users were polled using Google survey, and a few software end-users were interviewed. The numeric data was examined using SPSS, while the qualitative interview data was studied using a content analysis approach. Overall, the survey found that the majority of respondents give very positive feedback. The study also showed that the majority of responses exceeded 80% agreements. The qualitative results demonstrate, however, that everyone who has used the programme agrees that it has significantly improved their writing and made it more organised.
