Full Check — one pass, one submission-readiness score

PreSubmit's structure & venue checks, BibCheck (including retraction detection), and Glossary — over your paper in a single pass, rolled into one readiness score. Same engines as the individual tools; zero setup.

What Full Check does Free during beta

Upload a manuscript (PDF, DOCX, .tex, or plain text) or paste your LaTeX, optionally add a venue — or paste its requirements as a URL or text — and run every readiness check at once.

  • Runs PreSubmit (structure, venue compliance, anonymity heuristics, template-text and \ref/\label integrity), BibCheck (duplicates, orphans, malformed entries + live reference verification with retraction detection), and Glossary (abbreviation detection) in one pass.
  • One unified issue list, grouped by the tool that produced it and sorted by severity, with per-issue fixed / ignored tracking.
  • A single submission-readiness score that moves as you resolve issues.
  • Optional live reference verification against CrossRef, Semantic Scholar, and OpenAlex — confirms each reference exists, matches, and hasn't been retracted.
  • Optional Cite stage — finds real sources for uncited claims in your prose (LLM-assisted, beta).
  • Optional NeurIPS / ICLR / ICML reproducibility-checklist cross-check against what the manuscript actually contains.
  • Copy-ready exports: \newacronym glossary additions, a cleaned key-sorted .bib, and a .bib of the sources found for uncited claims.
  • Skip any heavy stage and run it later from the report — nothing is silently omitted.

Why this matters

Getting a paper submission-ready usually means running several separate passes — a structure and venue-compliance check, a bibliography check, an abbreviations check — and reconciling the results by hand. Full Check runs all of them over one document in a single pass, using the same engines as RefScout's standalone tools, and merges everything into one prioritized issue list and one readiness score. Fix the mechanical and completeness problems that cause avoidable desk rejections before a reviewer ever sees them.

Examples

One report, every layer

On a real draft, Full Check can surface a retracted reference (via BibCheck's live verification), an abbreviation used but never defined (via Glossary), and a missing required section (via PreSubmit) — in a single report, each labelled with the tool that found it.

FAQ

How is Full Check different from PreSubmit?

Full Check is a superset: it runs PreSubmit's checks and adds BibCheck's live reference verification (with retraction detection), Glossary abbreviation detection, an optional Cite stage, and copy-ready exports — all merged into one readiness score. PreSubmit is the control-first sibling if you want just the venue-compliance pass.

What file types can I use?

LaTeX source, PDF, DOCX, or plain text — upload a file or paste your manuscript. A scanned or image-only PDF with no extractable text is detected and reported rather than silently passed.

Is my manuscript stored?

No manuscript text is stored after processing.

Does it guarantee acceptance?

No — it catches mechanical and completeness issues, not the quality or novelty of your research.

Do I need an account?

Yes — Full Check requires a free account. It's free during the beta.
