The practical edge your peers already use
Across disciplines and career stages, researchers reduce bottlenecks and submit with confidence: clearer drafts, easier guideline compliance, and less back and forth with co‑authors and reviewers.
I use it to review my students' papers. It instantly highlights typos, missing references, and unclear sections, helping me focus my feedback on the quality of the research instead of surface errors.
Ilyass
Professor in Mechanical Engineering, ÉTS Montréal
I relied on it throughout my thesis to strengthen my writing. It suggested clearer phrasing, improved flow between sections, and ensured my references were complete before the final deadline.
Manon
Master's Student in Speech Therapy
I write research in both Portuguese and English, and it adapts perfectly to either language. It provided precise feedback in Portuguese, helping me maintain academic tone and consistency across my drafts.
Afonso
PhD Candidate, UFPE
It gave excellent advice on how to rephrase and present ideas more clearly and concisely. The suggestions helped me refine my arguments and make my research more impactful.

General
CheckMyManuscript is built specifically for academic publishing. Unlike tools like Grammarly, it doesn't just fix grammar — it performs over 80 checks that reflect real journal standards, covering structure, metadata, citations, and submission readiness.
No account is required. You just need to provide an email address to receive your report and downloadable files. There's no signup, no password, and no login — just upload your manuscript and get results.
You can upload academic papers from any field. We support manuscripts in Word, LaTeX, and PDF formats, as long as they follow a typical research structure.
Yes. Our system supports documents written in any language. The checks are performed in the language of your manuscript, and the suggestions and explanations are also provided in that same language — no translation required.
Most reviews are completed in under 2 minutes, depending on document length and complexity.
If you have a question that's not answered here, please contact us at contact@checkmymanuscript.com. We're here to help!
File Upload & Supported Formats
You can upload DOCX, LaTeX (TEX/ZIP/GZ), or PDF files.
Yes. We understand how important confidentiality is in academic publishing. Your manuscript is processed securely and automatically deleted after review. No human ever reads or stores your file, and you retain full rights to your content.
Yes, we can handle large files under 200Mb. However, please note that the review time may increase for very long documents.
You can include them in your manuscript, but our checks focus on the main text. Figures and tables are reviewed only for references and consistency — not for content quality.
Privacy & Security
No. We do not store any files on our servers. Your manuscript is processed securely, then automatically deleted once the review is complete.
No human reads or accesses your manuscript. All reviews are handled by automated systems running on encrypted infrastructure.
Files are temporarily processed during review, then permanently deleted within minutes. Nothing is retained after the review ends.
Review Accuracy
Yes. The feedback is tailored to real publishing standards and academic writing expectations. While it's not a replacement for peer review, it helps you catch issues that often lead to rejection.
That's completely fine. The tool provides suggestions, but you remain in control of your work. You can accept, ignore, or modify each suggestion as you see fit.
No tool can guarantee acceptance, but our checks help reduce preventable errors that often result in desk rejection or delays — especially for first-time or non-native authors.
Yes. You can re-upload a revised version at any time, either using the free check again or by purchasing another full review.
Definitely. Many of our checks are designed to support clarity, academic tone, and English consistency — which are especially useful for researchers writing in a second language.
Payment & Access
The free version gives you a submission readiness overview and a sample of the suggestions found during the review. This helps you understand the types of issues detected without revealing every suggestion. To unlock the full list of detailed comments and fixes, you'll need to purchase the full report.
