Is this a guarantee of acceptance?

No. It is the statement a careful reviewer would write; what you do with it is the revision.

Systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA 2020, NMA, DTA), trials (CONSORT), observational studies (STROBE), prediction models (TRIPOD), qualitative (COREQ), case reports (CARE).

How long does it take?

About a minute for a standard manuscript; sections beyond 60,000 characters are truncated and the report says so.

The reviewer's statement, before the journal writes it

Three months of review to learn that the primary outcome never appears in the Results. That is the finding a reviewer's read would have caught on page one.

The report in .docx and .md: verdict on the first line, summary, major issues (few and concrete), minor issues, section notes, the pre-check table and a note to the editor.

How it works

# Manuscript audit
$ scopetools run audit-paper
Model-assisted, with deterministic checks.
Rules first: IMRaD sections, PRISMA numbers that add up, references vs citations, figures vs legends, registration. Then a reviewer with the house rubric (right design and checklist, confounding, measurement artefact, selection bias, multiple testing, overstated claims) writes the report from the text only. Every number cited in an issue is checked against the manuscript; anything not there becomes a warning.

Model-assisted, with deterministic pre-checks: IMRaD headings, PRISMA arithmetic, references vs citations, figures vs legends and registration are verified by rules first. The reviewer reads the manuscript by section (Methods first), applies the checklist for the design (PRISMA 2020, CONSORT, STROBE, TRIPOD…) and writes the statement; every number in it is checked against the text and anything not found is flagged.

What it costs

25 credits per manuscript (US$1.25), for subscribers.

Subscribers only — charged in credits per run, like every other tool.

Charged only when it delivers — a failed run costs nothing.

Credits are shared across every MetaScope tool — buy once, spend anywhere.

Limits

It is a report, not the truth: read it with your advisor. It does not recompute statistics (the statistical audit does) nor compare with PROSPERO (the methodological audit does).
