How it works

Three steps to a pre-submission verdict

From upload to action list, before you hit submit.

  1. 01Upload & pick a venue

    Drop in your paper (.tex or .pdf), optionally add your bibliography (.bib), and choose your target conference or journal.

  2. 02We run the checks

    Five engines run: venue fit, benchmarking against accepted peers, structure, honesty & integrity, and a submission-package review.

  3. 03Get an action list

    An acceptance-likelihood estimate plus concrete, prioritised fixes — with a plain-English summary across all engines.

What it checks

Five engines, one verdict

QC

Venue fit

Does the paper match the scope, format, and expectations of the target conference or journal?

QC

Peer benchmarking

How does the manuscript compare against recently accepted papers at the same venue?

QC

Structure

Section completeness, ordering, and the presence of the components reviewers expect.

QC

Honesty & integrity

Flags overclaiming and integrity issues — e.g. unverified “Dr./PhD” claims, former-employer mentions, or missing affiliations — using an optional, fully user-controlled profile.

QC3

Submission package

Upload your submission .zip (LaTeX source, .bib, figures); PaperQC checks portal file rules and recompiles from scratch to confirm a reviewer can build it.

Assistant

Plain-English summary

Ask anything about your results, or get a plain-language summary across all engines and a downloadable PDF.

Honest by design. PaperQC is in public beta and its predictions are indicative only — it is a pre-submission aid, not a guarantee of acceptance and not a substitute for peer review. The honesty checks are driven by an optional profile you control: filled fields are used, blank fields are ignored, and everything is editable later.
