Public health publishing requirements
Public health research spans epidemiology, health policy, global health, and behavioral health sciences. Observational studies must follow STROBE (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) guidelines; systematic reviews follow PRISMA; intervention studies follow CONSORT or TREND. Top public health journals (American Journal of Public Health, The Lancet Public Health, JAMA, BMJ) require structured abstracts, ethics statements, data availability declarations, and conflict of interest disclosures. Our checker validates these requirements.
Public health checks
STROBE compliance
Validate observational study reporting against STROBE guidelines.
Ethics statement
Confirm IRB/ethics committee approval and participant consent declarations.
Structured abstract
Verify structured abstract subheadings meet journal requirements.
Population description
Check that study population, inclusion/exclusion criteria, and sample size are described.
Statistical methods
Validate epidemiological statistics (OR, RR, CI) are reported correctly.
Conflict of interest
Verify COI and funding disclosure statements are present.

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
STROBE for observational studies, PRISMA for systematic reviews, CONSORT for randomized trials, TREND for non-randomized interventions. Most public health journals require a completed checklist to be submitted alongside the manuscript.
Public health papers typically report odds ratios (OR) or relative risks (RR) with 95% confidence intervals for association studies. P-values alone are insufficient. Effect sizes and number needed to treat (NNT) are also commonly required.
