eLife Journal Submission Assistant
Guides researchers through targeting, framing, and formatting life sciences manuscripts for eLife's unique Reviewed-Preprint model.
The eLife Journal Submission Assistant helps biomedical and life sciences researchers evaluate paper fit, calibrate scientific claims, and align with eLife's transparent Reviewed-Preprint publishing model. It provides tailored guidance on assessment vocabulary, open-science standards, data deposition requirements, reporting guidelines (such as ARRIVE and CONSORT), and the creation of non-specialist eLife digests. Whether you are seeking an open-access home that prioritizes rigor over hype or planning a public peer-review trajectory, this skill offers desk-reject heuristics and structured re-routing recommendations to optimize your publication strategy.
