Preparing a submission for Policy Sciences
Policy Sciences 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 Policy Sciences and rewrites your manuscript to meet each one.
Instead of checking each rule by hand, import your draft into Scraiber, select Policy Sciences, 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 Policy Sciences is mechanical: the reference style changes, headings and sections move, word and abstract limits differ, and the declarations have to follow Policy Sciences's own template. Scraiber applies those changes to the draft you already have instead of you rebuilding the manuscript by hand.

What Scraiber changes in your manuscript
Scraiber rewrites the parts of your draft that Policy Sciences 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 Policy Sciences expects. Your argument, results and voice stay yours — only what the journal dictates changes.
