Our Pre-Submission Expert Review service is designed to give you an insider’s view: feedback from field experts before you submit, allowing you to refine, strengthen, and reduce the risk of desk rejection.

What Is a Pre-Submission Expert Review?

A Pre-Submission Expert Review mimics the peer review process, but occurs before you send your paper to a journal. In this service:
  • Your manuscript is evaluated by one or more subject-matter experts.
  • They assess structure, argumentation, methodology, clarity, literature alignment, and compliance with publication norms.
  • You receive detailed feedback, prioritized suggestions, and a review report to guide revisions.
  • It’s not a guarantee of acceptance, but it helps you anticipate reviewer concerns and improve the manuscript’s readiness.
