Manuscript checks for peer review

See what needs attention in every manuscript.

RevieWell finds the parts of a manuscript to review and shows them with their related passages.

  • Checks organized by reporting guidelineFind passages related to the reporting items for each study design.
  • Every finding linked to its sourceOpen a finding to jump to the relevant passage in the manuscript.
  • A shared record for editors and reviewersReview findings, write an assessment and export the report.

The review of one sample manuscript. RevieWell extracts the text, checks the Abstract against the Methods (12 and 24 weeks for the primary outcome) and the Results against Table 1 (512 and 521 participants), and runs nine checks that return five findings. The reviewer confirms each finding, asks the authors, or dismisses it, and the decisions go to the report. The manuscript stays unchanged.

Compare two passages

See a finding as a reviewer does: the relevant passage in context, followed by a decision to confirm it, ask the authors to clarify, or dismiss it. Step through five findings in the sample manuscript.

What a run checks

Nine checks. We include a check only after evaluating it on real manuscripts.

Turn off a check to see which findings it would leave out of the analysis.

Checks don’t score a manuscript. Each finding is a prompt for review, not a verdict.

What AI does—and what reviewers decide

RevieWell lays out the review items and the evidence, so editors and reviewers can judge the work.

Does

  • Extracts claims and the passages that support them
  • Locates passages, tables and figures
  • Compares numbers across sections
  • Finds passages related to reporting items
  • Flags information it could not find

Never

  • Does not judge novelty or importance
  • Does not score or rank manuscripts
  • Does not write the review
  • Does not recommend acceptance or rejection
  • Does not replace the reviewer

RevieWell helps reviewers examine manuscripts. Reviewers make the judgments.

Zero data retention (ZDR)

RevieWell sends manuscript text to an AI model to run the checks. Under a zero data retention agreement, the model provider retains no data after returning the results.
