Frequently Asked Questions


Manuscript Reformatting

Does Resub use AI to change any of the content of my manuscript?

Our reformatting tool handles the essential structural changes—like headings and layout—so your manuscript remains entirely your own. For language refinement, our Writing Assistant delivers expert-level copy editing and proofreading, powered by the most advanced AI models available. We're committed to transparency: every change is tracked using standard track changes, so you stay in full control of your work.

How accurate is the formatting by Resub?

Accurate (very). In our early stages, we review 100% of manuscripts manually to ensure near perfect accuracy. We base our reformats precisely on the target journal requirements. Some journal instructions are not always accurate, but if there is a discrepancy, just let us know and we can update it in our system.

Do you shorten the manuscript if the title, abstract, or manuscript exceeds the word limit?

No. At this point, we will flag that you are over the word limit and leave it to you to work your magic.

What format does my manuscript need to be? Do you accept LaTeX files?

At this stage we only accept Microsoft Word (docx) files. We recommend that you upload your title page (with acknowledgments), abstract, main document, figures, tables, and supplemental files as one document for our software to best reformat your manuscript.

Does Resub own the intellectual property or content in the uploaded manuscript?

No. The author (you) retains all rights to the intellectual property and content of the uploaded manuscript. We simply make it ready for publication in your target journal.

Does Resub work with non-English language manuscripts?

No. At this time, we only accept English language manuscripts.
