ManuscriptMeter

Terms

A preflight report supports—but never replaces—author judgment.

These terms govern the free early-access ManuscriptMeter service.

The service

ManuscriptMeter provides automated document-consistency checks and public reference-metadata lookups. Findings are informational and may be incomplete or incorrect. You remain responsible for the manuscript, its claims, journal requirements, and submission.

Your content

You retain ownership of your manuscript. You grant us a limited right to process it only to operate, secure, and improve the requested report. Upload only files you are authorized to process.

Prohibited use

Do not upload unlawful material, malware, regulated data that requires a separate agreement, or files intended to disrupt or probe the service. Do not use the service to make high-impact decisions about another person without independent human review.

Availability and changes

Early access is provided without a paid service commitment. We may limit usage, change checks, correct findings, or suspend the service for security and maintenance.
