Engineering manuscript requirements

Engineering papers in IEEE Transactions, IEEE Access, and similar venues follow IEEE style with numbered references, specific equation and unit formatting conventions, and requirements for experimental validation and error analysis. Civil, mechanical, electrical, and materials engineering have field-specific standards (ASME, AIAA). Our checker validates IEEE formatting requirements alongside engineering-specific content checks such as equation consistency, unit reporting, and experimental methodology completeness.

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.
