Journals & Publishers · editorial triage support
For journals and publishers

Let your reviewers judge clinical intuition — not get distracted by errors in methodology and statistics.

A manuscript is an author interpreting their data, drawing the clinical conclusions, and making the case that the work matters — that is where your reviewers’ attention belongs. RigorMD Editorial Evaluation screens each submission first: a dedicated Anthropic appraiser reads the manuscript against the criteria your journal supplies, and numeric checks recompute the statistics that can be checked. Every concern comes back with the manuscript quote behind it, so your desk editors see the serious problems, and the evidence, before reviewer time is spent.

Structured editorial decision support. Not an editorial decision. Not a replacement for peer review. This public page does not collect manuscripts.

§01 Where editorial review helps

Editorial offices use the report to decide where human attention adds the most value, before reviewer and statistical-editor time is spent.

Catch what a reviewer can miss
The under-powered comparison, the unadjusted confounder, the p-value that does not recompute — issues like these slip past even good reviewers, because reviewers are experts reading on their own time.
Free reviewers for the science
With the statistical screen already done, reviewers can spend their judgment where it is actually needed: design, contribution, and meaning.
Sharpen the questions you send
Each concern comes with the manuscript quote behind it, and a recomputed value when the numbers can be checked — so the queries your editors send are specific, not a vague “please have a statistician look at this.”
Speed the desk decision
The most serious problems surface before any reviewer time is spent, so your office can triage with evidence in hand. The accept, reject, or revise call stays where it belongs: with the journal.
Protect the journal's record
Detectable statistical errors are common in the published literature, and they are the ones that later surface as corrections and retractions. A consistent screen before review helps defend the integrity your title is trusted for.

§02 How an editorial pilot works

STEP 01

Journal context

Your editorial office sends the manuscript, plus the instructions or criteria you want it read against.

STEP 02

Rigor triage

RigorMD flags methods, statistics, and reporting risks — and notes where the conclusions outrun the data.

STEP 03

Reviewer focus

The report frames author queries and reviewer focus points. Decisions stay with your editors.

§03 Pilot boundaries

Four things are settled before any pilot report is produced or delivered.

Only manuscripts your journal has already decided, de-identified, or otherwise authorized
Confidentiality terms agreed before we read anything
No model training on your manuscripts
Reports are for internal editorial-office use only
What this is not. Editorial Review does not make the journal’s decision, judge novelty, replace peer review, or stand in for an independent statistical editor. Pilot manuscripts are never used for model training, and manuscripts and their reports are kept only for the retention window agreed in the confidentiality terms.
