Research integrity

Penelope

Checks a manuscript against your own guidelines before the author submits, so neither side reworks it afterwards.

IntegrationYour own subscriptionpenelope.ai

A technical check the author runs on their own manuscript, against your guidelines, before they submit anything.

What PeerPath does with it

Penelope cross references a manuscript against your journal's own guidelines and tells the author what is missing or wrongly formatted. They fix it before submitting, which means your office never sees the version that would have been sent back.

Where it sits in the workflow

Before submission. It is the only item on this list that does its work outside your office entirely.

Setting it up

1Subscribe to Penelope directly.
2Tell PeerPath support you want it on the submission form.
3We set it up against your guidelines.

Whether it is right for you

Worth it if
  • Your office spends real time sending submissions back for formatting
  • You want authors to fix things while it is still cheap for both sides
  • Your guidelines are specific enough to check against
Probably not if
  • Your submissions arrive clean already
  • Your guidelines are loose enough that there is little to check
