Preparing a submission for Transfusion
Transfusion sets its own submission rules: length and word limits, the required citation and reference style, figure and table formatting, and editorial policies. Scraiber tracks 28 requirements for Transfusion and rewrites your manuscript to meet each one.
Instead of checking each rule by hand, import your draft into Scraiber, select Transfusion, 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 Transfusion is mechanical: the reference style changes, headings and sections move, word and abstract limits differ, and the declarations have to follow Transfusion's own template. Scraiber applies those changes to the draft you already have instead of you rebuilding the manuscript by hand.

Transfusion documents its author requirements per manuscript type: Brief Report, Case Report, Commentary, Letter to the Editor, Original Research, Rapid Review, Review Article, Transfusion Medicine Illustrated.

What Scraiber changes in your manuscript
Scraiber rewrites the parts of your draft that Transfusion 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 Transfusion expects.
