Manuscript checks

Set the bar yourself

Author-facing tools check whatever the author decides to check. Vendor tools check against the vendor’s standards. Your journal requirements get short shrift.

ChronosHub puts the decisions back in your hands: which checks run, at which point, and whether they advise an author or block a submission outright.

Improve quality before peer review

Authors get feedback while they can still act on it, helping resolve scope, language, and technical issues before submission.

Reduce downstream costs

Editorial teams, compliance specialists, and production staff spend less time correcting issues that could have been caught earlier.

Adapt as requirements change

New checks connect through the ChronosHub platform, so you change providers as you without touching your workflows.

ChronosHub delivers a consistent, intuitive author experience while letting us plug and play new tools, experiment more, and work flexibly on the back end.

Persistant results

Persistent results

A check doesn’t stop being useful once the author has acted on it.

You can carry the result through to Editor Triage, so your team has the full context of the submission and the quality signals, language or scope, when they make the decision.

Per journal configurations

Acceptable quality isn’t the same for every journal. A flagship title and a new open-access launch can reasonably draw the line in different places, even inside the same portfolio.

You set the threshold each journal applies. You also decide which checks are advisory or mandatory.

Provider-agnostic by design

We spend a lot of time evaluating different tools and services. When one is worth having, we bring it into the ChronosHub partner network.

What we don’t do is pick a winner on your behalf. Any provider that can do the job can sit behind a check, including one you already work with. Your workflow stays where it is.
