Deep dive into each module

Explore the full capabilities, use cases, and technical features of each assessment module

SmartScreen

What it addresses Documents often enter workflows with avoidable issues in structure, language, metadata, references, disclosures, tables, and figures — time-consuming when done manually.

Checks metadata, figures, tables, legends, disclosures, references, structure, and counts
Assesses language quality across grammar, style, readability, and vocabulary
Validates title length, abstract length, document length, and reference count
Produces a consolidated readiness view aligned to journal or organization requirements

IntegrityGuard

What it addresses As submission volumes increase, organizations need systematic ways to identify higher-risk documents and detect recurring integrity patterns early.

31+ AI-powered checks flagging papermill indicators, content manipulation, and disclosure gaps
Dashboard-level visibility into trends, recurring issues, and workflow-wide risk signals
Actionable reporting supporting due diligence, escalation, and policy refinement
Configurable thresholds and checks for different workflow requirements

PeerPilot

What it addresses Authors, editors, and reviewers need structured support to assess scientific presentation, methodological soundness, reporting completeness, and literature use consistently.

Four-domain assessment: critical overview, literature review, methodology/statistics, and reporting compliance
Reviewer-style comments that identify strengths, gaps, and areas needing clarification
Integrity-oriented checks such as outdated/retracted references and citation issues
Useful both pre-submission and within peer-review or advisory workflows

DigitalEdit

What it addresses Authors and support teams need more than a checklist — they need an editable document that clearly shows what should change and why.

Provides a digitally edited file with track changes
Supports accept/reject style revision workflows for authors
Helps improve clarity, language, and consistency throughout
Annotates technical compliance issues inside the document when used with SmartScreen

DetectAI

What it addresses Teams increasingly need a transparent way to review passages that may be AI-generated, especially when handling sensitive integrity assessments.

Sentence-level analysis for granular review
Traffic-light style color coding for intuitive interpretation
Presented directly on the document or report output for quick navigation
Useful as part of broader integrity and review workflows

ImageCheck

What it addresses Image manipulation, duplication, and AI-generated figures are difficult to identify manually, especially at scale across large submission volumes.

Detection of AI-generated images
Identification of duplicated or manipulated figures
Large-scale comparison against a published-figure database
Supports figure-level review as part of broader integrity workflows

PlagCheck

What it addresses Authors and editorial teams need a practical way to detect overlapping text, assess similarity, and identify passages that may need attribution or revision.

Generates a similarity score for the document
Highlights overlapping text with source-level context
Uses color-coded results to support quick assessment
Helps distinguish areas for revision, attribution, or escalation

1 platform. 7 modules. Flexible deployment.

Deploy one module for a focused need, or combine multiple modules into a tailored assessment workflow.

Built for Flexibility

Modular and configurable to fit different teams, workflows, and governance models

Multi-User Support

Supports both oversight users (editors, reviewers, administrators) and end users (authors, researchers)

Scale with Confidence

Enables consistent, scalable assessment while surfacing issues early and reducing rework

87%

of editorial offices perform technical and language checks manually

1 in 2

researchers use AI for peer review, often against guidance

56%

of manuscripts are checked two or three times before acceptance

Paperpal Preflight supports content review at every stage

The same platform can be configured for different roles and workflows

Authors

Pre-submission screening helps authors improve language, technical readiness, originality, figure integrity, and review preparedness before submission.

Publisher workflows

Automated and configurable screening supports consistent editorial triage across quality, compliance, integrity, and review readiness.

Peer reviewers

AI-assisted assessments help reviewers deliver faster, more consistent feedback by surfacing key methodological, reporting, and literature-related considerations.

Conference abstracts

Scalable checks help screen abstracts for anomalous, AI-generated, or fraudulent content at volume, supporting more trustworthy selection processes.

Case investigations

Forensic-style signals and detailed reports support due diligence when teams need to review escalated or high-risk submissions; including end-to-end support to manage backlogs

Universities / Research offices

Institutional teams can monitor quality and integrity trends, protect reputation, and improve research output through proactive screening and researcher support.

Hospitals

Clinical and translational research teams can strengthen publication governance, disclosure quality, and integrity oversight before external submission.
