Preparing a submission for Annals of Neurology
Annals of Neurology sets its own submission rules: length and word limits, the required citation and reference style, figure and table formatting, and editorial policies. Scraiber tracks 25 requirements for Annals of Neurology and rewrites your manuscript to meet each one.
Instead of checking each rule by hand, import your draft into Scraiber, select Annals of Neurology, and let it rewrite your text to match: the exact word limits, reference style and structure, so your paper is submission-ready.
If the paper was rejected elsewhere, most of the work in retargeting Annals of Neurology is mechanical: the reference style changes, headings and sections move, word and abstract limits differ, and the declarations have to follow Annals of Neurology's own template. Scraiber applies those changes to the draft you already have instead of you rebuilding the manuscript by hand.
