Ensure journal suitability. Submit with confidence.
Avoid desk rejections after months of preparation by ensuring your manuscript aligns with the journal's preferences. Our experts will reach out to your shortlisted journals, follow up, and provide tailored advice for a successful submission. With APC's assistance, you can be confident that your manuscript is ready for peer review.
Pre-Submission Inquiry Assistance works either as a standalone service or as a step within one of our publication-support packs. It pairs naturally with journal selection and editing.
Once the Journal Selection Assistant service has identified suitable journals, we will inquire at these journals on your behalf to help you finalize the target journal before submission.
