Features

What do we offer?

Aligned with the upload flow: file prep, analysis, and output in one place.

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.

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.

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 with Google or email when you start.

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.

From the founder

Built by a neurosurgery professor

Clear pre-submission feedback is still hard to get — while desk-reject risk often shows up early as methodology and reporting gaps. Not a replacement for a human reviewer; a structured check before you submit.

How we differ

Built like a referee workflow — not a chatbot.

We don’t chat about your paper. We run a reviewer-style pipeline and return a structured pre-submission report you can act on.

Generic AI chat

Open-ended paste into a model

  • Free-form answers with no fixed report structure
  • Easy to invent references or soft claims without checks
  • No scored axes, statistics audit, or revision priorities
  • No literature grounding or journal-fit block in a deliverable

Review My Manuscript

Multi-agent peer-review pipeline

  • Structured report: methods, novelty, writing, statistics
  • Literature-aware signals from academic sources (RAG)
  • Specialist passes for editorial, stats, visuals, and language
  • Action plan + optional journal-fit — exportable DOCX

More detail: How is this different from ChatGPT or Paperpal?

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.

FAQ

Common questions

ChatGPT generates text; Paperpal and similar tools focus on language and basic submission checks. We run a structured peer-review-style analysis: methodology, statistics, literature context, and optional journal-fit — grounded in academic sources, not generic chat.

Before you submit to a journal, it provides AI-assisted, reviewer-style assessment and reports methodological and literature-related risks.

PDF and DOCX are supported. You can also upload tables and figures separately.

Yes. Your manuscript stays confidential, is never shared with third parties, and is kept while your account is active. You can delete your manuscript from your dashboard at any time, or email contact@reviewmymanuscript.com to have all your data deleted.

Depending on length, reports are typically ready within about 5–15 minutes.

No credit card is required to start. Free preview: see the most important issue with a suggested fix; every issue is in the full report. Unlocking the complete report is $19 USD for manuscripts up to 15,000 words and $38 above that. The exact amount is confirmed before payment.

Payments are processed by our regulated payment partner acting as Merchant of Record. A 14-day right of withdrawal applies where the law allows, with a digital-service exception once the report has been delivered. If our pipeline fails to deliver a report, your order is automatically moved to 'refund pending' and we initiate the refund without a separate request. Full details: /en/terms#refunds.
