Publishing from industry: what's different
Researchers in industry, pharma, biotech, technology, and consulting face unique considerations when publishing academic papers. Conflict of interest disclosures must be comprehensive and transparent, as industry affiliation is scrutinized by editors and reviewers. Corporate manuscripts may require legal review before submission. Data availability may be restricted due to proprietary concerns, requiring specific declaration language. Industry authors may be less familiar with current academic formatting conventions and journal-specific requirements. Our checker helps industry researchers meet academic publishing standards efficiently.

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.
Félix
Postdoc Researcher, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology
A round of suggestions helped to generally refine the text of my paper and, moreover, to present some of its key points in a more focused form.

Frequently asked questions
Journals require disclosure of: employment at or consulting for the company whose product is studied, stock ownership or options, patent licensing agreements, and honoraria or speaker fees. ICMJE has a standardized COI disclosure form used by hundreds of medical journals.
Yes: industry researchers regularly publish in top journals, including Nature, Science, JAMA, and field-specific journals. Full disclosure of industry affiliations and funding is required, and the research must meet the same rigor standards as academic research.
If data cannot be shared, journals typically require a statement explaining why (e.g., 'Data are proprietary and available to qualified researchers upon reasonable request to the corresponding author'). Some journals accept this; others require fully open data. Check the journal's data policy before submission.
