Audit Text
A PASS/FAIL on your manuscript before the journal sees it
Desk rejection over a detail: an orphan citation, a figure without a legend, a missing registration number.
You give
The manuscript (.docx, .md or .txt) and, if you have it, the PROSPERO number.
You get
A report in .md and .docx with the verdict and every finding, ordered by severity.
How it works
# Audit $ scopetools run final-audit Deterministic — no model. Every finding comes with the line and the excerpt so you can fix it yourself: a citation with no reference (and vice versa), a figure without a legend, a duplicated reference, phrasing patterns that reviewers flag, a missing registration number.
Deterministic and read-only: every finding comes with the line and the excerpt so you can fix it yourself. Your manuscript is never edited.
What it costs
3 credits per file (US$0.15); running it again after fixing costs another 3.
Charged only when it delivers — a failed run costs nothing.
Credits are shared across every MetaScope tool — buy once, spend anywhere.
Limits
It checks form and consistency, not the science. The methodological and statistical reviewers look at the science.
