About this service
Journals desk-reject or return manuscripts for format alone: a structured abstract over the word limit, the wrong heading order, figures embedded instead of uploaded separately, missing declarations or references in the wrong style. Send your manuscript as a Word file or a PDF with selectable text and the journal's author guidelines (saved as PDF or Word), and we check it against every rule: title page, abstract and keywords, section order, word counts, tables and figure legends, declarations such as funding, conflicts of interest and data availability, and the reference style. You get a list of every deviation with the exact fix and a corrected reference list.
What is included
- What you getA Word report listing each guideline with its status (met, fix needed, not applicable) and the exact fix, plus your reference list reformatted to the journal's style and a list of references missing data. In Premium, in-text citations are also matched to the list.

What we need from you
The manuscript as Word or a PDF with selectable text, the journal's author guidelines saved as PDF or Word (we do not open web pages), the article type (original research, review, short communication) and the journal's name.
We will ask you:
- Which journal and article type is it for?
- Is this a first submission or a resubmission?
- Which reference style does the journal use?
- Are figures and tables in the same file or separate?

Questions and answers
Will this get my paper accepted?
No one can promise that. Meeting the guidelines avoids a return or desk rejection for format; acceptance depends on peer review.
Will you reformat my file for me?
No. You get a report with every fix to make and a corrected reference list as a Word file; applying the layout changes in your document is up to you.
Will you look up missing reference details?
No, we do not look sources up online. We list exactly what is missing for each reference, such as a DOI or pages, so you can add it.
Will you edit my writing or check my results?
No. This is a format check only: structure, layout rules and references. The content and the science stay yours.
