The challenges arising from traditional screening
Rising submission volume
Editorial teams are handling more manuscripts than ever, increasing pressure on basic screening tasks.
Avoidable desk rejections
A significant proportion of submissions are rejected or returned because of language, formatting, and guideline issues, creating system bottlenecks.
Time spent on low-value checks
Editors often spend valuable time on reviewing checklist work instead of focusing on scientific quality and editorial judgment.
How SmartScreen helps

Technical Compliance Checks
Technical and guidelines checks across six categories: count, disclosures, figures & tables, metadata, references, and structure.
