Professional academic editing and publication support for researchers and authors

Pre-Submission Review

A structured readiness review that identifies high-priority issues before the manuscript enters a journal submission system.

Service overview

Find preventable problems before submission

Pre-Submission Review evaluates whether the manuscript and supporting documents are complete, coherent, and aligned with the target journal’s visible requirements. The reviewer flags missing information, inconsistent presentation, reporting gaps, weak sections, and administrative issues so the author can prioritise revisions before submission.

What this service includes

  • Target-journal guideline and article-type review
  • Manuscript completeness and section-alignment check
  • Reporting, declaration, reference, figure, and table review
  • Prioritised revision notes and submission checklist

Our four-step workflow

Review target journal guidance

We confirm the journal, article type, author instructions, required declarations, and file requirements.

Assess manuscript completeness

The reviewer checks structure, abstract, methods, results, discussion, references, tables, figures, and supplementary material.

Flag priority revisions

Issues are ranked by importance so the author can address critical submission barriers first.

Provide a submission checklist

You receive a practical checklist covering manuscript changes, supporting documents, and final author actions.

What you receive

A detailed readiness report, a prioritised action list, and a target-journal submission checklist. Editing or formatting can be added separately.

Discuss your manuscript

Send the manuscript, target-journal link, article type, current supporting files, and planned submission date.
