Preparing a submission for Granular Matter
Granular Matter sets its own submission rules: length and word limits, the required citation and reference style, figure and table formatting, and editorial policies. Scraiber tracks 9 requirements for Granular Matter and rewrites your manuscript to meet each one.
Instead of checking each rule by hand, import your draft into Scraiber, select Granular Matter, 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 Granular Matter is mechanical: the reference style changes, headings and sections move, word and abstract limits differ, and the declarations have to follow Granular Matter's own template. Scraiber applies those changes to the draft you already have instead of you rebuilding the manuscript by hand.

- Citations & references 1 rule: in text citation format.

What Scraiber changes in your manuscript
Scraiber rewrites the parts of your draft that Granular Matter constrains: it brings sections within the required lengths, converts in-text citations and the bibliography to the required style, adjusts headings and structure, and flags the declarations Granular Matter expects. Your argument, results and voice stay yours — only what the journal dictates changes.
