We built the tool we needed as researchers.
A manuscript can be sent back for reasons that have nothing to do with the research. The rules behind them are scattered across guides that do not always agree.
A finished manuscript is not a submittable one.
Research Eagle does the mechanical checking, so your attention goes to the research.
We label what we know.
Every requirement says what it rests on. One we do not hold is shown as not on file and is never counted as met, and only a verified one can count as a blocker.
Verified
Read on the journal’s own guide for authors, or on its publisher’s own author pages, within the last year. Shown with the link and the date.
Inferred
Read on another journal of the same publisher, or recommended by the source rather than required. Likely, not established for this journal.
Reported
From a secondary source: a citation-style repository, what the journal reports to DOAJ, or a reader. Not read on the journal’s guide by us.
Needs verification
Held without a link or a date, last read more than a year ago, or contradicted by another source.
