Three-slot upload
Add your main manuscript as PDF, DOCX, or ODT; upload tables and figures in separate slots. We parse them so tables and figures are reviewed distinctly in the report.
AI-assisted reviewer-style analysis
Before the real referee, we take a look.
More than language polish: AI-assisted academic review, methodology analysis, and up-to-date literature context to improve your submission readiness.
New: after Scenario A review, we can surface journal-fit suggestions (with quartile notes) from our catalog — confirm on each journal site before submitting.

Features
What do we offer?
Aligned with the upload flow: file prep, analysis, and output in one place.
Literature-backed analysis
RAG across PubMed, Crossref, and Semantic Scholar connects your study to current evidence and field context.
Referee-style report and score
Publication-readiness score, axis-based review, and a prioritised action plan — clear pre-submission feedback.
Review or language editing
Choose AI peer-style review or English copy-editing in the same flow; pricing follows the service you pick.
Revisions and external comments
Upload a revision and optionally add journal or referee comments so the analysis matches your context.
Clinical and English-first
The flow is tuned for biomedical work; the main text for review should be in English.
PDF guidance, table and image slots, and a pre-flight checklist — details on the upload page; sign-in is required to continue.
How it works
We are not ChatGPT. We review like a referee.
Using RAG, we ground signals in academic databases and review your manuscript across four dimensions.
1
Upload your manuscript
Upload a PDF or DOCX. You can add tables and figures separately.
2
Literature + AI analysis
PubMed, Crossref, and Semantic Scholar are queried; findings are aligned with peer-review-style criteria.
3
Report and action plan
You get a publication-readiness score, critical fixes, and a clear revision plan.
Journal fit
Where could this manuscript go?
For English biomedical manuscripts, we combine embedding search over an in-house journal catalog with an optional AI re-rank — then attach a structured block to your report (not generic chat guesses).
Catalog + vectors
Journal rows are enriched from public metadata (e.g. Crossref, DOAJ) and embedded into a dedicated Qdrant collection for similarity search.
Discipline-aware retrieval
We infer your field from the review context, apply soft filters, and relax them if the catalog is sparse — so you still get usable shortlists.
Report + export
Suggestions appear in the web report and exports (DOCX / PDF) with conservative wording: always verify aims, scope, and reporting guidelines yourself.
Pricing
One review quality
Every paid manuscript gets the same full peer-review pipeline. Price scales with word count and workload (including PDF as the main file), not feature tiers.
First review free (no card): peer review only, 800–6000 words — one per eligible account. Longer files are priced normally after upload.
Short manuscript
Up to 3,000 words
From $29 USD
Same full review for every band
- Shorter body; usually fewer tables, figures, and extra materials.
- Statistical workload tends to be lighter—focus stays on the core narrative.
- Higher bands reflect size and workload, not unlocking extra product features.
- Turnaround depth matches this word band and typical file weight.
Medium manuscript
3,001 – 5,000 words
From $45 USD
Same full review for every band
- Mid-length text; more sections and often more tables or figures.
- More pages and visuals increase extraction, reading, and cross-check time.
- As methods or results expand, statistical review load rises naturally.
- Quotes follow size and complexity—not a feature ladder between tiers.
Long manuscript
5,001+ words
From $59 USD
Same full review for every band
- Long papers; many references, dense supplements, and heavy tables.
- Lots of figures or dense numeric displays increase processing time.
- PDF as the primary manuscript adds a flat +$5 USD fee in the quote summary.
- Same product scope; price scales with volume and complexity.
English language editing
Standalone service — choose it at upload instead of peer review. Same word bands as review; fixed USD pricing.
From $15 USD
- Up to 3,000 words · $15
- 3,001 – 5,000 words · $24

The pre-submission report flagged a statistical issue our internal reviewers missed. Saved us from a desk reject.

The methodology feedback was granular — it read like a real reviewer's report. The literature context section was the most useful part for our team.

The journal-fit suggestion saved us months — we re-submitted to a better-fit Q2 instead of chasing a Q1 with the wrong scope.
