Declaration workspace

Profile → study conditions → per-author CRediT matrix → complete package.

Verified 2026-09-01. No universal journal order exists. Confirm headings and placement in the target journal’s current instructions.

Per-author CRediT matrix

CRediT describes contributions; it does not determine authorship. Select every role that truthfully applies.

Official 14-role definitions

Generated declaration package

2 completeness items to resolve

  • Author 1 needs a name or initials.
  • Resolve every bracketed placeholder.

Data availability

The data supporting the findings of this study are available in [repository name, DOI, or URL].

Competing interests

The authors declare no competing interests.

Why this order

  • No universal journal order exists. Confirm headings and placement in the target journal’s current instructions.

Conditional checks are a completeness aid, not ethics or legal review. Confirm exact wording, manuscript placement, and submission-form fields with the journal and your institution.

Use the pre-submission checklist to catch the other files and declarations required before upload.

01

Choose each disclosure status

Select the data and conflict options that match the manuscript.

02

Add exact details

Enter repository identifiers, funders, CRediT roles, approvals, and consent language.

03

Copy and reconcile

Use the generated block as a draft, then match it to the journal and institution.

What this tool does not do

  • It does not determine what you are legally, ethically, or institutionally required to disclose.
  • It cannot verify repositories, grant numbers, author roles, approvals, waivers, or consent.
  • Generic wording must be adapted to the target journal’s current policy and your institution’s requirements.

Frequently asked questions

What declarations can I generate?

The builder covers data availability, competing interests, funding, author contributions, ethics approval, and consent. Only sections with supplied information are included, apart from the core data and competing-interest statements.

Does this guarantee journal compliance?

No. Journals and institutions use different wording and disclosure rules. Treat the generated block as a structured draft and compare it with the current author instructions.

Is my declaration information uploaded?

No. The statements are assembled in your browser and are not sent to Manusights.

Need the whole manuscript checked?

Move from one submission task to a full readiness review.

Manusights reads the manuscript as a connected argument and flags the issues most likely to matter before submission.
