Service
Manuscript & publication support
Before a manuscript reaches peer review, an editor screens it in minutes. Statistical reporting gaps, incomplete ethics documentation and unclear authorship are the three things that end it there.
Most desk rejections come down to a small set of avoidable problems: the manuscript is out of scope for the journal, statistical reporting is incomplete (effect sizes without confidence intervals, undescribed missing-data handling, methods that do not match the results), ethics approval and consent statements are missing or vague, the reporting guideline for the study type has not been followed, or authorship and conflict-of-interest declarations are unclear. All of these are fixable in one structured review before submission, and none of them are fixable after a desk rejection.
What this service includes
- Full manuscript preparation
- Introduction, methods, results, discussion and abstract written around the validated analysis — not around the preliminary results.
- Scientific editing
- Restructuring the argument, tightening the discussion, and making the message match what the data actually support.
- Reporting-guideline compliance
- CONSORT, STROBE, PRISMA, STARD, TRIPOD+AI, CARE, SQUIRE and CHEERS checklists completed and cross-referenced to the text.
- Tables & figures
- Publication-quality output built to the target journal's specification, generated from code so late corrections propagate everywhere.
- Journal selection strategy
- Matching scope, methodology, audience, indexing, turnaround and realistic acceptance likelihood — the step most often responsible for a long chain of rejections.
- Submission support
- Cover letter, reviewer suggestions, ethics and data-availability statements, and the submission portal itself.
- Reviewer responses
- Point-by-point responses, additional analyses requested by reviewers, and revised manuscripts.
- Rescue review
- Structured diagnosis of a repeatedly rejected manuscript: what is scientific, what is statistical, what is presentational, and what is simply the wrong journal.
What you receive
- Submission-ready manuscript
- Completed reporting-guideline checklist
- Journal shortlist with rationale
- Cover letter and submission documents
- Point-by-point reviewer response
- Revised manuscript and rebuttal
Independently verified before it reaches you
Every primary result is reproduced from the cleaned dataset by a second statistician before delivery, and you receive the analysis scripts so any number in the manuscript can be traced back to a line of code and a row of data.
