USER GUIDE
From manuscript preparation to report interpretation, step by step
A guide grounded in current product capabilities, covering file requirements, task selection, estimated processing time, and revision priorities.
01 · GET STARTED
Four steps to a structured review report
The workflow centers on your manuscript, selected task, and report—without complex setup.
Choose a review task
Select integrated review, peer review, language editing, format check, or compliance check.
Wait for analysis
The system processes the manuscript and prepares structured comments; timing varies by length and complexity.
Review and revise
Work through must-fix, suggested, and optional items, checking each against the source text.
02 · PREPARE FILES
Check format, size, and content before uploading
Current upload supports common text-manuscript formats. Complex layouts or scanned content may affect parsing.

03 · CHOOSE A TASK
Match the task to your current revision goal
Start with integrated review if the main risks are unclear; choose a focused task when your goal is specific.
Integrated Review
Covers research logic, methods, results, discussion, language, and formatting.
Academic Review
Examines contribution, evidence, methods, and argument completeness from a reviewer perspective.
Language Polish
Focuses on academic expression, grammar, terminology consistency, and readability.
Formatting
Checks structure, citations, references, figures, tables, and common layout issues.
Compliance Check
Identifies risk signals in ethics statements, citations, data, and formatting requirements.
04 · READ THE REPORT
Revise by priority and verify against the manuscript
The report supports judgment; recommendations should not be accepted without checking the manuscript evidence.
Must fix
First address issues affecting research credibility, conclusion support, and critical compliance.
Suggested
Then strengthen the argument chain, methodological transparency, and information completeness.
Optional
Finally refine language, structure, formatting, and visual presentation.
When a comment lacks evidence or conflicts with the research context, verify it against source data, field norms, and target-journal requirements.
