What a paper review delivers

Two independent reviews

Separate audits with accept/revision recommendations and specific weaknesses.

Five-point rubric

Scores and written justifications for novelty, quality, relevance, verifiability, and clarity.

Ranked fix list

Severity-ranked issues quoting the exact passage with concrete revision steps.

Citation validation

Every reference matched against Crossref, OpenAlex, and arXiv to catch wrong DOIs.

Prior art comparison

Identifies competing baselines so reviewers are not the first to raise them.

Target venues

Journals that publish similar work, categorized by SCImago quartile ranking.

How a paper review works

  1. 1

    Parse manuscript

    Extract text, sections, formulas, and bibliography from your uploaded PDF.

  2. 2

    Verify bibliography

    Look up every reference against scholarly databases without language models.

  3. 3

    Audit arguments

    Examine section by section for unsupported assertions and missing baselines.

  4. 4

    Dual synthesis

    Two reviewers score independently and merge the most urgent fixes first.

Who it is for

  • Authors preparing drafts for top-tier journals or conferences
  • PhD candidates auditing chapters before supervisory review
  • Principal investigators handling multiple student drafts
  • Researchers seeking clarity and structure feedback on English text

Scientific integrity boundaries

  • —Critical first reader to catch oversights; does not replace peer review or co-authors.
  • —Scores reflect draft state, not an official editorial guarantee.
  • —Zero model training; drafts remain private and confidential.

Questions

Can an automated review audit catch substantive peer-review issues?

Yes. It catches unsupported claims, missing baseline comparisons, unclear methodology, and broken DOIs, quoting exact sentences so you can judge each point.

How are manuscripts scored?

Two independent reviewer agents evaluate novelty, quality, relevance, verifiability, and clarity on a 1–5 scale with written rationale.

Does it verify every reference in the bibliography?

Yes. Every entry is cross-checked in Crossref, OpenAlex, and arXiv, flagging mismatched titles, wrong years, or invalid DOIs.

Is my unpublished paper safe?

Yes. Manuscripts are encrypted in transit and at rest, visible solely to your account, and never used to train models.

Which file formats are supported?

Text-based PDF documents up to 25 MB. Scanned document images without OCR text cannot be parsed.
