Platform modules

Configure the checks your journals need.

EditorialPilot runs as a full screening suite or as targeted modules inside an existing editorial process. Each module maps to a specific decision editors make between manuscript receipt and peer assignment — and every signal feeds into one consolidated editor view.

One consolidated view

Every signal. One report. One decision point.

Editors don't switch between tools or reconcile separate reports. Every check — technical, language, integrity, rigor — flows into a single structured view. Editors see the evidence, weigh it, and route the manuscript. That's it.

Platform modules

Five modules. One queue. Every check explained.

Each module addresses one checkpoint in the desk-review workflow. Use them together or deploy what your process needs.

Pre-flight checks

Pre-flight checks

Run journal-specific technical and compliance checks the moment a manuscript arrives. Staff see missing information immediately, before a reviewer is ever contacted.

  • Required files, format and submission completeness
  • Author declarations, ethics statements and policy rules
  • Reference quality, citation style and structure validation
  • Title page: author list, affiliations, ORCID and correspondence

The EditorialPilot Suite

A comprehensive solution supporting the full editorial workflow — reducing desk-rejection time, reviewer burden, and production bottlenecks across your portfolio.

Modular

Standalone modules

Each EditorialPilot module can be implemented independently — allowing publishers to target specific bottlenecks such as language triage, technical pre-flight, or integrity screening.

Platform architecture

Configurable infrastructure for manuscript screening.

Rules, integrations, queues, reports and audit records are all configured around your submission setup. EditorialPilot fits the process you have, not the other way around.

01

Journal profiles

Control which checks run, at what threshold and with which required statements. Configured per title, portfolio or article type.

02

Batch runs

Screen submission groups for special issues, overflow queues or full portfolio reviews without reprocessing each file individually.

03

Integration points

Connect to submission systems, identity tools, integrity services and reporting flows. Feeds arrive automatically into the screening queue.

04

Evidence records

Flag source, reviewer action and editorial override are all stored with the decision record — fully reviewable for audit or policy review.

Governance

Designed for accountable editorial use.

Editorial screening must be traceable. EditorialPilot shows the rule behind each flag, keeps human editors in control of every routing decision and logs the full chain of evidence for each manuscript.

  • Human validation required for sensitive findings
  • Explainable flags — rule, source and confidence level shown
  • Configurable journal policies, thresholds and override rights
  • Audit-ready activity trail with timestamps and decision owner
  • ISO 27001, ISO 9001, SOC 2 Type II and GDPR-aligned
Editor override Available on every flagged item On
Confidence level Shown alongside signal context Visible
Policy version Stored with each screening run Logged
Decision record Evidence preserved for audit Ready
Platform modules

Submission, Identity and integrity signals in one queue.

EditorialPilot works alongside the tools publishers already use. These are not plug-ins — they feed directly into the screening queue and appear in the consolidated editor view.
