Physics publishing requirements
Physics papers follow APS (American Physical Society) or AIP styles for Physical Review, Physics Letters, and related journals. Astrophysics papers in ApJ, MNRAS, and A&A follow their own conventions. Physics manuscripts require precise equation formatting, unit consistency (SI units unless otherwise specified), error analysis for all measurements, and increasingly, data and code availability. arXiv preprint submission is standard practice in physics and astrophysics before or alongside journal submission.
Physics paper checks
Equation completeness
Verify all symbols are defined and equations are properly numbered.
SI unit consistency
Check consistent use of SI units throughout.
Error analysis
Validate measurement uncertainties and error propagation are reported.
Data availability
Check for data availability and code repository statements.
Citation format
Validate APS/AIP or AAS reference style.
Abstract completeness
Verify physics abstract includes objective, methods, and key numerical results.
Checks relevant to this topic
Part of our 80+ automated checks
Symbol definitions
All mathematical symbols defined on first use.
Equation numbering
Consistent equation numbering and text references.
Unit consistency
SI units used consistently throughout.
Error reporting
Measurement uncertainties reported for all key values.
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
In physics and astrophysics, arXiv preprint submission before or simultaneous with journal submission is standard practice and widely accepted. It increases visibility and can attract comments that improve the final submission.
