Set the submission context
Choose the journal and article type first. A useful review needs a destination, not just a document.

A generic critique can be useful. A pre-submission review has a more practical job: show whether this draft is ready for this journal, and make the revision path visible when it is not.
Read the manuscript in that context
JournalReady looks for reporting gaps, unclear methods, and editorial risks that can matter to the selected path.
Separate evidence from interpretation
The report keeps published instructions, observed manuscript signals, and editorial priorities distinct so the next revision is defensible.
Decide what to do before submission
Use the result to submit with more confidence, revise the issue that matters most, or reconsider the target before the journal portal.
What this is not
JournalReady does not promise acceptance or replace peer review. It gives authors a focused editorial check before submission, with the target and practical consequences kept in view.
