Publication Support: Pre-Submission and Submission Assistance

End-to-end pre-submission and submission assistance for authors preparing a manuscript for journal publication. Support runs from an article readiness check and pre-submission peer review with a journal selection report to journal formatting, checklist verification and submission support, with additional publication services also on offer.

Journal publication support

Domains we support

Editorial and publication support is available across medical, scientific, technical, social science, and interdisciplinary research areas.

How our publication support works

Four steps take your manuscript from a readiness check and journal selection through to formatting and submission.

Article Readiness Check

We check whether your manuscript contains every section and detail required for its scientific article type, so gaps in structure or content are identified before journal submission.

Peer Review and JSR

We give your article a thorough peer review before submission, and our journal selection report (JSR) suggests best-fit journals by scope, indexing, metrics, and your preferences.

Service workflow
Journal Formatting

Your manuscript, references, tables, figures, and supplementary files are formatted to the journal's instructions, from reference style and heading levels to table and figure layout.

Checklist and Submission Support

We verify ethical statements, declarations, funding information, conflicts of interest, and supplementary files, then assist with metadata entry, file uploading, and supporting documents in the journal's online submission system.

Article Readiness Check and Additional Publication Services

Our pre-submission services include an article readiness check, manuscript restructuring, peer review with a journal selection report, cover letter preparation, graphical abstracts, and submission checklists. Choose the ones your study design and target journal call for.

Article Readiness Check

Research articles, reviews, and case reports differ in their requirements. We confirm your manuscript has every section and detail its type needs.

Manuscript Restructuring

We reorder and tighten sections of your existing manuscript for clearer flow, using only your own data and conclusions.

Peer Review and JSR

Before you submit, your article receives a thorough peer review, and our journal selection report (JSR) recommends the best-fit journals for it.

Cover Letter Preparation

Professional, journal-specific cover letters that bring out your manuscript's novelty and significance and show its fit with the journal's scope.

Graphical Abstract

A visual summary of your study question, approach, and main findings, drawn to the dimensions and file format your target journal specifies.

Submission Checklists

We complete the STROBE, CARE, CONSORT, or other checklist for your article type or the journal requirements, noting where each item is reported.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about our publication support, from checklist verification and journal selection to formatting and submission.

Four steps: an article readiness check, a pre-submission peer review with a journal selection report (JSR), journal formatting, and checklist verification with submission support. We also offer manuscript restructuring, cover letter preparation, graphical abstracts, and submission checklists such as STROBE, CARE, or CONSORT. You can take the full sequence or only the steps your manuscript still needs.

After a thorough pre-submission peer review, our journal selection report identifies suitable journals by scope, subject area, indexing, metrics, and open access, taking your own preferences as the author into account. Once you have chosen a journal, the formatting and submission steps follow that journal's instructions and requirements.

We check ethical statements, declarations, funding information, conflicts of interest, and supplementary files, since journals often return submissions with gaps in these items. Where your article type or journal calls for it, we also complete the STROBE, CARE, CONSORT, or other submission checklist as an additional publication service.

Formatting covers the manuscript, references, tables, figures, and supplementary files, all set to the journal's instructions. For the submission itself, we help with submission files, metadata, author information, declarations, and required supporting documents, and we can prepare a journal-specific cover letter to accompany the manuscript.
