Preparing a submission for Time & Society
Time & Society sets its own submission rules: length and word limits, the required citation and reference style, figure and table formatting, and editorial policies. Scraiber tracks 12 requirements for Time & Society and rewrites your manuscript to meet each one.
Instead of checking each rule by hand, import your draft into Scraiber, select Time & Society, 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 Time & Society is mechanical: the reference style changes, headings and sections move, word and abstract limits differ, and the declarations have to follow Time & Society's own template. Scraiber applies those changes to the draft you already have instead of you rebuilding the manuscript by hand.
