Preparing a submission for Written Communication
Written Communication sets its own submission rules: length and word limits, the required citation and reference style, figure and table formatting, and editorial policies. Scraiber tracks 13 requirements for Written Communication and rewrites your manuscript to meet each one.
Instead of checking each rule by hand, import your draft into Scraiber, select Written Communication, 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 Written Communication is mechanical: the reference style changes, headings and sections move, word and abstract limits differ, and the declarations have to follow Written Communication's own template. Scraiber applies those changes to the draft you already have instead of you rebuilding the manuscript by hand.
