Tools for getting your paper ready to submit

Single-purpose tools for the questions that come up while you’re writing the manuscript. No signup. Nothing stored.

Built on Crossref, Retraction Watch, DOAJ, and statcheck / GRIM / GRIMMER, over a 1,321-venue journal corpus. Every result is a shareable link you can cite or embed.

Manusights Compass

Journal Fit Predictor

Where should I submit this paper?

Citation Claim Checker

Does the cited paper actually support your claim?

Input
One sentence with a citation
Output
Verdict + suggested rewrite

Manusights Audit

Stats Sanity Checker

New

Will reviewers catch arithmetic errors in your stats?

Paste your Results section. Get instant flags for inconsistent p-values (statcheck-equivalent), impossible means (GRIM), implausible standard deviations (GRIMMER), and inconsistent binary proportions (DEBIT). Math-checked in pure code, not LLM guesses.

Input
Results section paste
Output
Per-flag detail + decision-flip alerts

Manusights Sentry

Reference Integrity Checker

New

Are any of your references retracted, hijacked, or in withdrawn journals?

Paste your bibliography (DOIs, BibTeX, RIS, or plain text). Get per-reference flags for retractions, expressions of concern, hijacked journals, and DOAJ-withdrawn venues. Crossref + Retraction Watch data, no signup, shareable URL.

Input
Bibliography (any format)
Output
Per-reference status + notice DOIs
Runtime
About 5-10 seconds

Manusights Lens

Scope-Fit Risk Calculator

New

You picked a target journal. Will scope kill the submission?

Pick a target journal or conference, paste your abstract. Get a 0-100 scope-fit risk score, 1-3 named risk patterns, and 2-3 lower-risk alternative venues. The inverse of Compass: Lens assesses a venue you have ALREADY chosen rather than picking one for you.

Input
Target venue + abstract
Output
Risk score + named patterns
