Frequently asked questions

Yes: CheckMyManuscript works across all research disciplines. The core checks (structure, citations, language, metadata) apply universally, with discipline-specific pages for medical, psychology, CS, biology, engineering, and other fields.

Desk rejection occurs primarily due to scope mismatch, formatting non-compliance, and incomplete submissions. CheckMyManuscript catches the non-scope issues automatically, structure problems, missing sections, incomplete references, and metadata errors.
