Preparing a submission for Social Text
Social Text sets its own submission rules: length and word limits, the required citation and reference style, figure and table formatting, and editorial policies. Scraiber tracks 4 requirements for Social Text and rewrites your manuscript to meet each one.
Instead of checking each rule by hand, import your draft into Scraiber, select Social Text, 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 Social Text is mechanical: the reference style changes, headings and sections move, word and abstract limits differ, and the declarations have to follow Social Text's own template. Scraiber applies those changes to the draft you already have instead of you rebuilding the manuscript by hand.
What Social Text specifies
These are the areas Social Text writes rules for. Scraiber holds the exact value behind each one and applies it to your draft.
- Length & word limits 1 rule: word limit.
- Citations & references 1 rule: citation style.
- Formatting & submission 2 rules: in text citation format, line spacing.
What Scraiber changes in your manuscript
Scraiber rewrites the parts of your draft that Social Text 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 Social Text expects. Your argument, results and voice stay yours — only what the journal dictates changes.
