Editorial Workflows Face Increasing Complexity

Quality Inconsistency

Manuscripts enter editorial workflows with differing levels of language clarity and presentation, making early assessment more time-intensive even when research quality is strong.

Compliance Variability

Journal guidelines continue to expand across structure, references, disclosures, and metadata, increasing the likelihood of misalignment at submission.

Integrity Considerations

As submission volumes grow, identifying early indicators related to authorship, images, citations, and disclosures requires more structured support alongside manual review.
A Single Platform for Assessing Manuscripts
sectionImage
Paperpal Preflight is a modular, configurable platform supporting manuscript assessment
for quality, compliance, and integrity across editorial and peer-review workflows.
Paperpal Preflight Offers Three Modular Components
“SmartScreen provides a unified screening layer for language and technical readiness.”
What it addresses

A large proportion of manuscripts require basic language and technical checks before editorial evaluation. These checks are necessary, but time-consuming, and often delay progression to scientific assessment.

What SmartScreen does

SmartScreen scans manuscripts to generate a structured readiness report on language quality and technical compliance, serving as a screening signal for editors and an actionable output that authors can use to address issues prior to submission.

IntegrityGuard
IntegrityGuard

"IntegrityGuard uses 30+ checks to screen manuscripts for integrity issues, giving editors clear visibility into potential concerns and enabling faster decisions on whether a submission should proceed."

What it addresses

As submission volumes and complexity increase, identifying potential integrity issues such as authorship anomalies, citation fraud, fabricated text, disclosure gaps, or scientific inconsistencies requires systematic attention alongside editorial review.

How it’s used

IntegrityGuard screens manuscripts to detect integrity issues, helping editors quickly identify concerns and decide whether to advance submissions.

PeerPilot
"PeerPilot provides an AI-assisted review aligned with peer-review expectations."
What it addresses

Peer review is increasingly constrained by limited reviewer availability, growing manuscript complexity, and pressure to maintain timely, high-quality editorial decisions—all of which influence journal reputation.

How it’s used

PeerPilot supports peer reviewers through assessments on methodology, compliance to reporting guidelines, and completeness of literature review. It can be applied pre-submission to strengthen incoming submission, or during peer review to aid journals.
