Before submitting the full manuscript, review whether its design and analysis support the conclusions. RigorMD's $99 pre-submission review examines the methods and interpretation, recalculates statistics when the reported inputs allow, and explains concerns with evidence for revision. The review is automated, using two independent AI appraisers and separate numerical checks. Appraisal findings include a plain-language clinician line and a “Why this matters statistically” panel beneath it.
While you're drafting, the free RigorMD reference integrity checker resolves up to 25 cited DOIs and PMIDs per run against Crossref, the DOI handle registry, and PubMed.
