Manuscript summary

Article layout

The manuscript is laid out into the selected journal template automatically — coloured article-type banner, running-head identity, boxed abstract, headings and body sizes. You can still correct the text in the next step, and the layout is written into the exported .docx.

This preview mirrors the journal's house style. The downloadable .docx in step 5 carries the full template (with the journal logo and two-column abstract box).

Corrections

Export

Nothing is stored between sessions. Download the session file if you need to stop and come back to it later.

Revised article (auto-fix)

Rewrites the manuscript to match the Sustainable Future Reports template and produces a new .docx. The original file is never changed. Structural gaps that need writing (missing sections, an empty abstract) cannot be auto-filled and stay on the report.

Send for e-proofreading

Creates a link that carries your correction list and checklist. Send it to the author together with the manuscript. When they open the link, this tool loads your corrections automatically — they upload the same file, apply, and download the revised article. The link travels in the URL only; the document itself is never uploaded to a server.

Deliverables

The proofreading report is a standalone HTML file you can email or print to PDF. The correction log is a CSV that opens in Excel.

Session

Saves the checklist state and correction log to a small JSON file. Load it back to resume where you left off.

The automated check reads formatting that is written explicitly into the file plus the document defaults. Formatting inherited from a custom paragraph style may be reported as “not set” — that is not automatically an error, so confirm those by eye in Word.
