Lab Plan · for labs & research programs
Unlimited pre-submission review for your whole lab
One monthly plan, billed to the PI. Every student and postdoc can run a Full Review or a Submission-Ready Dossier on every draft and every revision, in one shared lab workspace.
General AI access helps researchers create and analyze. Manusights is the separate review layer for finished drafts: the reviewer-calibrated engine behind our Full Review, shaped by early work with 35+ CNS-experienced reviewers and senior scientists, with unlimited reviews, a shared record, and memory across every revision.

Where Manusights fits
1. Create
Researchers use the literature, analysis, writing, and AI tools that fit their work.
2. Stress-test
Manusights applies one reviewer-calibrated pre-submission standard to the finished draft.
3. Decide
The author and PI use the findings, revision record, and their own judgment before submission.
This is a quality-control workflow, not another general AI seat and not a replacement for PI judgment or journal peer review.
The two things that slow your lab's papers down
The PI bottleneck
Internal review waits on one calendar. Trainees get feedback late, or not at all, and revise blind in between.
Lost institutional memory
What got flagged on draft v1 lives in your head or a buried thread. When a postdoc graduates, their standards leave with them.
Strong internal review works because it catches target-journal fit, claim-support, and methods-risk problems before submission. Few labs have time to run that consistently on every draft. The Lab Plan makes that first pass consistent and fast on every draft, so the PI reads a stronger version.
Two ways to start
Start the Lab Plan
Best when a PI, department, or program has budget and wants unlimited reviews for the whole lab, billed by invoice or PO, in one shared workspace.
Talk to us about the Lab PlanWe set up the workspace, add your members, and answer data-handling questions before you start.
Founding Labs application
Best when a lab wants to try Manusights first and is willing to share structured feedback as we refine the team workflow.

What the Lab Plan includes
Unlimited Full Reviews
Every member can review every draft. Each Full Review critiques every section, checks citations against scholarly databases, and ranks the fixes by severity, in about 30 minutes.
Unlimited Submission-Ready Dossiers
Run the Dossier on every paper heading to a journal: a four-persona simulated peer review, predicted reviewer objections, and a target-journal strategy with safer backups.
Unlimited revision rounds
Re-upload v2 and the engine reviews it against v1, showing what is fixed, what is still open, and what is new. Revisions never count against anything.
A shared lab workspace
The PI sees every manuscript in the lab. Members see their own drafts, and labmates see only what is shared with them.
Every research tool, no daily limit
Journal fit, citation-claim checks, reference integrity, stats audit, scope-fit risk, cover letters, and response-to-reviewers drafting, without the public rate limits.
One invoice, nothing to top up
Billed monthly to the PI by invoice or PO, or by procurement card. No checkout per review and no credits to manage.
A usage view for the PI
See how many reviews, Dossiers, and revisions the lab has run, and what that work would cost at list price.
Seats the PI controls
The PI adds and removes lab members at any time. Access never crosses into another lab.
Revisions are always unlimited. For brand-new manuscripts we agree a fair-use guideline with each lab up front, sized to how many papers the lab actually writes.
Why labs use it
Feedback on every draft, without waiting on the PI
Every member gets a structured, senior-reviewer-grade review the moment a draft is ready. The PI reviews a stronger v2 instead of being the bottleneck on v1.
One quality-control standard for the whole lab
The same reviewer-calibrated checkpoint for every trainee, regardless of which research or writing tools they used upstream.
It remembers your last revision
Re-upload a revision and the engine reviews it against what it flagged before, showing what is fixed and what is still open across every round.
Institutional memory that survives graduation
Every review and revision round is kept in the lab portal, so your lab's standards outlive any one member and onboard new ones faster.
How the Lab Plan works
Your lab gets a shared portal
A lab-scoped workspace with seats for the whole team, billed to the PI.
Anyone uploads a draft
A member submits a manuscript and gets a structured AI review in about 30 minutes. Nothing to buy per review.
Revisions are tracked
Re-upload a new version; the engine reviews it against the prior round and tracks fixed vs. still-open.
You see what the lab ran
The PI sees every review, Dossier, and revision the lab has run. No credits to top up.
Pricing & budget
The Lab Plan is one monthly price per lab, based on lab size. Tell us how many people are in the lab and how you buy (card, invoice, or PO), and we'll send a quote and set up the workspace.
Expensable
Fits a typical PI-discretionary line; no procurement queue for most labs.
Card or invoice/PO
Pay by procurement card, or annual invoice/PO with a W-9 for grant-funded budgets.
Vendor-review support
DPA discussion, W-9, data-handling notes, and security materials are available when your institution asks.
Typical budget line:
Other Direct Costs · Professional Services · Electronic Resources

Labs that get the most out of it
The Lab Plan earns its place when it becomes part of the manuscript workflow, not because a team is paying for abstract access to AI. It fits best when:
Questions PIs ask
Is our unpublished work safe in a shared portal?
Your lab gets a private, lab-scoped workspace with no cross-lab visibility. Manuscript content is not used to train Manusights or model-provider models, access is limited to the review workflow, and a data-processing agreement can be discussed during review. Manusights is not a HIPAA service and must not receive PHI, HIPAA limited data sets, FERPA-covered records, export-controlled material, or other regulated content. De-identify the manuscript through your institution's approved process or do not upload it.
We already do journal club. Why this?
Journal club reviews other people's published papers and builds judgment, but it never touches your lab's own unpublished drafts and leaves no record of what was flagged. The portal closes that gap and keeps the record.
Is AI feedback trustworthy?
The engine is calibrated from early work with 35+ CNS-experienced reviewers and senior scientists, with citation-integrity and statistical-reporting checks built into the workflow. Treat it as a strong first pass that makes the PI's read faster, not a replacement for it. It is review, not editing, ghostwriting, live human peer review, or a guarantee of acceptance.
For graduate programs and writing centers
Graduate programs, writing centers, and research offices can give students and postdocs a shared way to get a rigorous scientific read before their first submissions to high-impact journals, alongside existing writing support.
