JournalReady helps authors check a manuscript against the submission they plan to make, see what could hold it up, and decide what to revise before it goes out.
Effective date: April 24, 2026
1. How is this different from using a general AI tool?
General AI can be useful for broad drafting feedback, but it does not begin with the journal and article type you plan to submit. JournalReady does. Where verified journal-specific coverage is available, the detailed report checks the manuscript against that journal's published submission requirements, then gives you a clear decision and revision priorities.
2. Does my manuscript get used to train a model?
No. Your manuscript is processed only to create the requested report. It is not posted to public AI chats, used to train models, or kept as a manuscript archive. Temporary report files expire automatically.
3. Does JournalReady replace peer review?
No. JournalReady is a pre-submission assessment system. It helps identify issues before submission, but it does not replace editorial judgment or peer review.
4. Does a strong score guarantee acceptance?
No. JournalReady does not guarantee acceptance. It identifies submission-readiness risks and helps authors improve the manuscript before journal review.
5. Can JournalReady help choose a journal?
Yes. It assesses the selected journal's scope, the article type, and the likely audience. If the target looks weak after revision, the report explains why and can point to a more realistic direction.
6. What do I get in the preliminary screening?
A quick readiness signal, overall risk level, and broad issue categories so you can decide whether the full report is worth running.
7. What do I get in the detailed report?
A submission decision, detailed findings, the evidence behind them, revision priorities, target-fit guidance, and temporary downloadable outputs. Where verified journal-specific coverage is available, the report also checks that journal's published submission requirements.
8. What kinds of manuscripts work best?
Scientific manuscripts such as original articles, reviews, consensus documents, and related scholarly submissions.
