Desk-ready manuscripts
Filter technical failures before peer review — fewer reviewer complaints and faster decisions.
Raise article quality before indexing evaluators see your journal
Indexers and database selectors do not guess — they sample published articles. Weak references, missing ethics statements, duplicate submissions, and proofreading gaps are among the fastest reasons journals stall at Scopus, Web of Science, UGC-CARE, or DOAJ. Galleys QC catches those defects at submission and leaves editors with an audit trail.
Author clarity
Structured PDF reports spell out what to fix and why, cutting revision cycles by weeks.
Proofreader support
Line-level grammar, spelling, and tone flags give copy editors a head start on every manuscript.
Duplicate protection
Cross-archive matching catches resubmissions and overlapping publications before they reach reviewers.
Editor time saved
Nine automated engines in under a minute — no manual checklist for every new submission.
Audit & transparency
Every run is logged. Demonstrate due diligence to university presses and accreditation bodies.
Built to support recognised indexing standards
QC does not guarantee listing — no tool can. It does improve the article quality indexers assess when they review your journal.
Indexing services our QC library aligns with
Logos represent indexing services whose quality criteria inform our check library. Galleys.pub is not affiliated with or endorsed by these organisations.
Nine QC engines
Every plan includes all nine engines. Each run produces a structured screening summary and exportable PDF report.
Ethics Screening
Authorship anomalies, consent gaps, fabrication signals, and COPE-aligned risk flags.
Duplicate Submission Check
Title, abstract, and full-text matching against your archive and external sources.
Math Verification
Equation notation, labels, delimiters, and computational consistency.
Citation Integrity
Broken DOIs, orphan cites, retracted references, and style compliance.
AI-Content Detection
Academic-calibrated probability scoring with lower false positives than consumer tools.
Journal Fit Scoring
Semantic scope match against your published corpus plus suggested alternative journals.
Proofreading
Grammar, spelling, punctuation, and academic tone — ranked for proofreaders and copy editors.
Structure & Numbering
IMRaD order, figure/table captions, and cross-reference sequence checks.
WoS/Scopus Readiness
Metadata completeness, abstract structure, and indexer-facing quality signals.

FAQ
Does this replace peer review?
No. It removes repetitive technical screening so reviewers focus on scholarly merit.
Where do I access the app?
Sign in at qc.galleys.pub. Upload manuscripts, run QC, and download reports from the same dashboard.
Does it integrate into OJS?
Optional OJS plugin access is available on paid plans. By default, QC runs on a separate platform so OJS stays fast.
