A rigorous review
before you submit.

Refereely runs your manuscript past a council of AI peer reviewers — sharp, quote-grounded feedback on your contribution, methods, and clarity — so you can fix the problems before an editor sees them.

How it works

Three steps. A few minutes. One consolidated review you can act on.

1

Upload your manuscript

Drop in a PDF and tell us the field and target journal. We tune the reviewing standards to match.

2

A council reviews it

Several independent AI peer reviewers critique your paper from different angles — then cross-check each other to filter out mistakes.

3

Get one clear review

Prioritised major concerns, minor fixes, and readability stats — every point grounded in a quote from your paper.

Why Refereely is different

Not a chatbot that flatters your draft — a disciplined panel built to catch what a reviewer would.

A council, not a single opinion

Multiple independent AI peer reviewers plus an adversarial verification pass. Findings that survive scrutiny are flagged high-confidence; plausible-but-wrong criticisms are filtered out.

Quote-grounded

Every concern points to the exact text it's about — so you can act on it, not guess what it means.

Discipline-aware

Strongest across the social sciences and humanities — including law, business, and economics. Tell us your field and target journal, and we calibrate the model to match.

Readability, measured

Flesch, Gunning Fog, SMOG and more computed on your prose, with field benchmarks — so you know where to tighten.

Confidential by design

Your manuscript is used only to generate your review, never to train any AI model, and the file is deleted as soon as your review is ready.

Made for authors

Pre-submission help on your own work — consistent with major publishers' policies that allow AI assistance on your manuscript. Disclose AI use per your target journal's policy.
