Everything between results and submission

Built for the way papers actually come together — sections, figures, references and reviewers.

01 · Journal schemes

Start from your target journal

Pick your journal and article type, or paste any journal’s author guidelines, and the sections, word limits and figure limits are set up for you and tracked as you write.

02 · Editor

A dedicated writing environment

Draft every section in one focused manuscript editor, with an AI assistant alongside that sees the whole paper. Discuss, tighten or critique as you write, and assess each section’s strength against your journal’s criteria. It sharpens your draft; it doesn’t write it for you.

03 · Figures

Figure analysis

AI figure review checks every image against its legend and the passages that cite it, flags legends missing n, statistics, error bars or scale bars, and catches colour and readability problems before a reviewer does.

04 · Literature Explorer

Find and cite the right papers

Turn your manuscript into PubMed searches, add papers by DOI and build the reference list without leaving your draft. EndNote citations pasted from Word survive the round trip.

05 · Review

Simulated peer review

Choose a reviewer — subject expert, methodologist, clinician or sceptic — or convene a panel. Get the critique, a figure–text consistency check and a recommendation from Accept to Reject.

06 · Rebuttal

Reviewer comments, answered

Upload the decision letter and get the comments sorted by priority with a strategy for each. Draft your response with an assistant that knows the paper, then re-check that every concern is addressed.

How it works

From figures on a screen to a submission-ready draft

A structured workflow around how manuscripts are really written — results first, story second, reviewers always in mind.

Set your target

Create a paper, choose the journal and article type, and add the context the AI should know — field, key findings, the story you want to tell.

Bring your results

Upload figures and draft sections in any order. The assistant helps you think through the argument — the data and the ideas stay yours.

Stress-test it

Run figure review and a simulated peer review. See where a reviewer would push, and where the text and figures disagree.

Submit & respond

Act on the feedback, keep within the journal’s limits and export to Word with your citations intact. When the reviews come back, Rebuttal takes it from there.

Privacy & AI

AI you can trust with unpublished data

Your results are your competitive edge. ScriptaDraft is designed to keep them that way.

Zero Data Retention

Requests are routed only to frontier-model endpoints with Zero Data Retention enabled. Your manuscript is processed transiently — never retained by the model provider, never used for training.

Encrypted at rest — figures included

Manuscript text, figure files, AI chats, simulated reviews and reviewer comments are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before they are stored.

Full-context analysis

Feedback reads the whole section, its figures and the journal's requirements — not a pasted excerpt with the context stripped away.

A writing aid, not a ghost-writer

ScriptaDraft is built to sharpen the work you have drafted, so you stay the author and stay within your journal's AI-use policy.

Does my Discussion overclaim relative to what Figure 4 actually shows?
ScriptaDraft AI
In places, yes. Figure 4 shows an association in the discovery cohort, but the second paragraph of the Discussion describes it as causal. Two options: soften “drives” to “is associated with”, or point to the knockout experiment in Extended Data Fig. 6 if that is the evidence you intend…
You
Good catch — how would a Nature Medicine reviewer read the limitations paragraph?
Reading the limitations paragraph…
“Papers are rarely rejected for the science alone — it’s the story, the figures, and the reviewer you didn’t anticipate.”
