Pre-submission
The place answers come first
Authors choosing where to submit want to know three things: Is this journal the right fit? Are my costs covered? Is my manuscript ready? The problem is that they often find out too late in the process.
Give them the hard facts and guidance they need before they submit, so fewer decisions need to be revisited.
Focus editorial time where it counts
More manuscripts arrive already matched to your journals and ready for review. Fewer hours wasted on submissions that were never going to progress.
Guide authors to better decisions
Authors check scope, APC coverage, and manuscript readiness before they commit, so they know what to expect and what’s required.
Keep messages consistent everywhere
Bring journal information, agreement coverage, and submission guidance into one branded experience. Authors get the same information before and after they log in.
Cost and coverage, answered together
Once an author has identified a suitable journal, ChronosHub checks whether their institution’s agreement covers publication there, and shows any charges that would apply if it doesn’t.
Where a funder forbids the venue outright, ChronosHub blocks the choice rather than flagging it.
