EditverseJournal selection and submission
from $115See levels and order
This service chooses where a finished manuscript should go and, at higher levels, prepares and submits it. It is for authors who have a complete paper and want the journal decision made on evidence: scope, indexing, time to decision and cost.
Only independent third-party journals are recommended. Each journal on the shortlist is checked on its own site and in the indexing databases on the day the report is written, and you make the final choice.
Specification
- You provide
- The abstract or full manuscript, and your constraints: required indexing, article processing charge limit, open access needs, and journals already tried.
- We do
- Match the paper to journal scope and recent content, verify indexing and fees, rank the options; at higher levels edit, format, prepare the files and submit through the journal portal.
- You receive
- Shortlist report; at Advanced and Premium the formatted files and submission confirmation; at Premium a pre-submission review report and cover letter.
- Reporting standard
- Each journal author guidelines for format and declarations. Authorship, disclosure and registration statements follow the ICMJE Recommendations (January 2026) and COPE Core Practices.
- Turnaround
- 3 business days for the shortlist. Editing and submission dates are confirmed at order from manuscript length and journal.
- Revision rounds
- 1 revision of the shortlist or of the prepared files.
- Team
- A subject-matter expert who publishes in the field selects the journals; an editor and a submission specialist prepare the files.

How the work is checked
- Indexing verified at source for every journal listed: the index entry is opened, not taken from the journal site.
- Publisher and journal screened against the warning signs of predatory publishing described in the ICMJE Recommendations (January 2026).
- Similarity report run on the final text and supplied with the files at Advanced and Premium.
- Pre-submission checklist against the author instructions: file types, word and reference limits, declarations, data-sharing and registration statements.
- Submission confirmed by the journal acknowledgement, which is forwarded to you with the manuscript number.
Not included
Article processing charges and journal fees, which are paid by you to the publisher, and any promise of acceptance: the decision belongs to the journal.
Ordering and payment
The shortlist can be bought by invoice on its own and upgraded later. For Advanced and Premium you can pay by invoice or use "Request this service", send the manuscript, and pay after the first deliverable only if it meets your expectations; files may be used once payment is made. Official invoices and receipts are issued for reimbursement. Submission of several linked papers is by quote.
Questions
How many journals are on the shortlist?
A ranked set with a first choice and alternatives, each with the reason for its rank, so that a rejection does not send you back to the start.
Do you submit from my account?
Yes. The corresponding author stays the account holder and receives all journal email. Files are uploaded on your behalf and you approve the final proof of the submission before it is sent.
Can you guarantee acceptance?
No. Acceptance is the journal decision. The service makes sure the paper reaches a journal whose scope it fits, in the format that journal asks for.
What does the pre-submission review cover at Premium?
A subject-matter expert reads the paper as a journal reviewer would and returns a report on design, analysis, claims and presentation, which is addressed before submission.
