One-page summary table. Your instant triage tool.
Evidence you can cite
Each score links directly to manuscript sections. When methodological issues are flagged, you see the exact problem with page references. Your desk reject letters cite specific issues without hours of manual review.
Example: "Robustness scored 2/5. Small sample size (n=12) without power analysis documented on p. 8, Methods section. Nested data structure not addressed in statistical approach."
Configured for your journal
Scope assessment references your journal's stated aims.
Novelty checks consider recent publications in the field.
Statistical expectations match the discipline's norms.
Your editorial correspondence writes itself
The Editor Summary provides structured reasoning for desk rejects, identifies specific areas for reviewer focus, or highlights exceptional merits for fast-tracking. No more generic desk-rejections or drafting rejection rationale from scratch.
