Preparing a submission for Genome Research
Genome Research sets its own submission rules: length and word limits, the required citation and reference style, figure and table formatting, and editorial policies. Scraiber tracks 10 requirements for Genome Research and rewrites your manuscript to meet each one.
Instead of checking each rule by hand, import your draft into Scraiber, select Genome Research, 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 Genome Research is mechanical: the reference style changes, headings and sections move, word and abstract limits differ, and the declarations have to follow Genome Research's own template. Scraiber applies those changes to the draft you already have instead of you rebuilding the manuscript by hand.
What Genome Research specifies
By manuscript type - Scraiber applies every one of these rules to your draft.
- All manuscript types 10 rules, including: abstract word limit (250 words), page limit (12 journal pages), running title character limit (50 characters), figure limit (6 figures), table limit (2 tables).
Read from Genome Research's own author guidelines. Journals revise these - verify with the journal before you submit.
