Checks for your journal
Choose a journal profile and article type. Review applicable structure, word limits, declarations, and citation requirements—not an unexplained generic score.

MORE THAN A CHECKLIST
The details that matter.
In one clear report.
From the title page to the final reference, understand your manuscript through readable cards, counts, and evidence.
Your manuscript, counted
See authors, affiliations, abstract words, keywords, headings, and word-count scopes. Separate detected facts from things that need human confirmation.
Front matter + structureReferences meet citations
Reconcile readable numeric and author–year citations with reference entries. Surface uncited entries, unresolved matches, and ambiguity.
Citations + reconciliationFigures and tables, connected
Count objects, captions, and in-text callouts separately. Find duplicate labels, uncited labelled items, and callouts without matching labels.
Figures + tables + equationsFindings you can follow
Open the evidence behind a count. Use “Show in Word” to navigate to the relevant text or object where supported, with approximate positions clearly identified.
Evidence + navigationRule-based checks. No generative AI.
JournalRight checks your manuscript using deterministic parsing and journal-specific rules, not generative AI. Scanning does not edit your manuscript, send it to AI services, or use it to train AI models.
Read-only + local analysisA JOURNAL-SPECIFIC STARTING POINT
Different journals.
Different expectations.
Begin with the generic original-research baseline, or explore a preview profile. Each check keeps its rule context and source visible.

Separate JournalRight registration and email verification are required. RefRight subscriptions do not include JournalRight. Pilot dates and transition details will be communicated before paid access begins. You will not be charged automatically: a paid subscription requires your explicit consent.

Checks you can trace.
No generative AI.
JournalRight’s manuscript checks run locally using deterministic parsing and explicit journal rules. JournalRight does not send your manuscript to AI services or use it to train AI models. It does not generate or rewrite your manuscript.
GOOD TO KNOW
Transparent by design.
Does JournalRight upload or change my manuscript?
No. Manuscript scanning runs in the add-in on your device and is read-only. Sign-in and registration use the separate JournalRight account service; account information is sent separately.
Does passing the checks mean my paper will be accepted?
No. These are structural and submission checks, not scientific peer review, editorial approval, or a guarantee of acceptance. Some requirements need human confirmation or separate submission files.
What if Word cannot read an object or region?
The report distinguishes zero detected items from “Not read” or “Partly read”. Floating objects, notes, and text boxes depend on what the host exposes. Headers, footers, and some object types are not scanned.
Can I use my RefRight account?
No. JournalRight requires its own email-verified account. Create your JournalRight account in the Word add-in and sign in before scanning.
Will I be charged after the pilot?
Not automatically. Paid plans are planned for after the two-month free pilot. We will communicate transition details before paid access begins; subscribing requires your explicit consent.
Is this available in Microsoft Marketplace?
JournalRight has been submitted for Microsoft Marketplace certification and is awaiting approval. Preview installations use the test manifest; submission does not mean Microsoft approval or publication.
