Preparing an article for journal submission

Before you submit to a Scopus-indexed or OAK-listed journal, check your article the way an editor and a reviewer would. PlagiatX compares it with the common requirements of international and OAK journals and shows every issue with its location in the text and how you can fix it yourself. We do not write or edit the article.

What is checked

• Title: length and clarity
• UDC index
• Authors: ORCID, email and affiliation
• Abstract: length, languages (Uzbek, Russian, English) and its 4 parts — aim, method, result, conclusion
• Keywords: number and an English version
• IMRAD structure: Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion
• Whether the aim and the conclusion match
• References: number, share from the last 10 years, DOI, in-text [n] ↔ list, mixed styles (GOST/APA/Vancouver), duplicates
• Figure and table captions, mixed Latin/Cyrillic, overly long sentences
• Target journal: Scopus, OAK and DOAJ status and a hijacked (clone) site warning

How it works

Upload the article as a DOCX, a text-based PDF or plain text, and optionally enter the journal name or ISSN. In a few seconds you get a report: a 0–100 readiness score (structure, references, formatting), a verdict (ready, needs work, not ready) and every issue with a quote from your article. The report can be downloaded as a PDF.

Fix it and check again

If you upload the same article again, the new report is compared with the previous one: what was fixed, what is new and how the score changed.

A reviewer's view

The report may also include an AI reviewer's opinion: strengths and weaknesses. Every point is checked against a verbatim quote from your article, and unsupported points are removed. It does not affect the score.

What it does not do

It does not write the article or rewrite sentences. It does not promise acceptance — the score is not a probability of publication. The norms reflect common practice of international and OAK journals (recommendations); every journal has its own rules on its Author guidelines page. The article text is not stored — only the report.

Price

A separate service, not part of the plagiarism plans: a 1-report or a 4-report package (for checking again after fixes). Prices are in the Article tab on the Pricing page.

Questions

Does it guarantee my article will be accepted?

No. The decision belongs to the journal's editor and reviewers. The service shows formal and structural issues you can fix before submitting.

Which journals is it for?

For research articles submitted to international (Scopus, Web of Science) and OAK-listed journals. The exact rules are in the chosen journal's guidelines, and the report reminds you of that.

Is a plagiarism check included?

No, that is a separate service: https://plagiatx.uz/antiplagiat. Many journals also check originality, so doing both is recommended.

How does it detect a hijacked journal?

The journal name or ISSN is compared with Scopus, DOAJ, the Retraction Watch hijacked-journal list and the OAK list in our database. If a clone site is known, the report puts a warning first.

Is my article stored?

No, the article text is not stored. Only the report (score, issues and short quotes) stays in your account.
