Pre-Submission Peer Review

Indexed Journal Standards

Our reviews follow a rigorous evaluation framework aligned with the standards and expectations of indexed academic journals.

Research Validation

Our reviewers examine study design, research methodology, significance, ethical compliance, and data analysis.

Manuscript Structure

We evaluate clarity, organisation, supporting evidence, conclusions, and the strength of the literature review.

The Peer Review Report Includes

What a report actually looks like

Two elements make up every report: simulated peer review comments with actionable suggestions, and , if you have a target journal , a compatibility assessment.

Manuscript · Exhibit A

Effect of Dietary Intervention on Metabolic Markers in Adults

J. Author, K. Co-author, et al. , in review

We recruited 42 participants1 over a six-week period2. Baseline characteristics were recorded for all subjects, and participants were randomised to either the intervention or control group.

Results indicate a significant improvement3 in the intervention group across all measured metabolic markers. These findings align with prior literature on dietary interventions in similar populations4.

Reviewer Notes
1

Sample size appears underpowered for the effect claimed. Please justify with a power analysis or acknowledge as a limitation.

2

Six weeks is short for metabolic endpoints. Clarify follow-up duration or discuss washout risk.

3

"Significant" is used ambiguously , specify statistical vs. clinical significance, and report effect sizes.

4

"Similar populations" is vague. Cite specific studies and note any demographic differences.

Common Questions

A short index

01

What is Pre-Submission Peer Review?

It's a simulated peer review , before you submit your paper to a journal. Experienced reviewers examine your manuscript using the same standards a journal peer reviewer would apply, and give you a detailed report of strengths, weaknesses, and required improvements. You get the reviewer's-eye view while you still have time to fix problems.

02

Does the pricing for Pre-Submission Review vary depending on the word count of my document?

No. Pre-Submission Peer Review is priced per reviewer, not per word. A 3,000-word paper and a 9,000-word paper cost the same at each tier , $272 for 1 reviewer, $535 for 2, or $799 for 3.

03

I have a limited budget / need a quick technical review to see if my paper meets structured peer review requirements. Do you have a cheaper and faster service?

Yes , take a look at our Peer Review Lite service, which provides a focused technical pre-check at a lower price point and shorter turnaround. It's ideal as a first pass before committing to a full multi-reviewer panel.

04

Why should I consider opting for multiple peer reviewers?

Real journals typically use 2–3 reviewers because no single reviewer catches everything. Two reviewers bring different expertise (e.g., a methodologist and a subject specialist) and cross-validate each other. Three reviewers cover methodology, subject, and ethics , the broadest coverage of concerns your target journal is likely to raise.

05

What information do I need to provide?

To get started, please submit your complete manuscript (Word, LaTeX, or PDF) and specify your field of study. If you have a preferred or target journal, you may also share its name so we can assess how well your manuscript aligns with the journal's scope and publication requirements.
