This tool provides an initial assessment to support the desk review decision: send for review, request revisions before review, or desk reject. It also suggests a handling editor based on manuscript topic and journal. Output is advisory only — all decisions rest with the managing editor.

Before running this check: please conduct a basic title and author search (e.g. Google Scholar) to check for prior publication or duplicate submission. The AI tool cannot access external databases and will not detect previously published work.
