submission-audit

Run a preflight manuscript audit on your draft to validate front-half alignment, figure coverage, and reference consistency before journal submission. The workflow scans manuscripts to catch misalignment, missing references, and venue-specific gaps, generating a structured report of blockers.

Claim-support alignment verifies that your title, abstract, introduction, and discussion accurately reflect the actual Results. A preflight QA check works by applying a deterministic audit workflow to scan figure citations, methods anchoring, and terminology consistency, flagging risks before submission.

Yes, you can use this preflight audit for manuscript resubmission or internal review. The workflow is designed for late-stage drafts near submission, focusing on front-half alignment, figure coverage, methods anchoring, terminology consistency, and venue readiness to catch submission blockers.

Verify figure citations and check for missing references by running the check_figure_refs.py script. This script scans your manuscript to validate cross-references, ensuring every main figure panel and supplementary panel exists and is correctly referenced, generating a structured risk report.

The best way to ensure terminology consistency and reference anchoring is to run an automated preflight audit. This validates consistent naming, checks citations placement, and prepares the manuscript for venue-specific requirements, catching claim-support misalignment in late-stage drafts.
