Never rewrites your science
Content immutability is guaranteed. An automated gate compares your text before and after. If anything but a citation marker moved, it refuses to ship.
Two free tools from a working orthopedic journal. Find the journals your manuscript is actually eligible for, then format it to that journal's published requirements and download a submission-ready .docx with verified references. Neither tool changes a word of your science.
Upload your .docx, pick a target journal, and download a manuscript formatted to that journal's house style, with references verified and renumbered and a plain-language compliance report.
Format a manuscript →Tool 02Enter your article type and your real numbers. We score all 75 journals on eligibility and fit, and show you exactly how far over each limit you are where you do not fit.
Find a journal →Drop in your blinded manuscript as a Word .docx. Optionally attach figures as separate high-resolution files. Nothing is published. Your files only produce your output.
Choose your target orthopedic journal and article type. The Studio loads that journal's exact requirements, encoded from its published Guide for Authors.
Get your journal-formatted manuscript and compliance report on the page, with references verified and renumbered. Apply anything flagged, and submit with confidence.

A language model recognizes which lines are the title, authors, and references. It never writes, paraphrases, or "improves" your prose. All formatting is applied by deterministic code.
Figures are checked against the journal's requirements and flagged honestly if they fall short. They are never re-rendered, upsampled, or artificially sharpened.
Where a journal's guide is silent, your original choice is preserved and noted in the report, not overwritten by a guess.
You are handing an unpublished manuscript to a website. That deserves a straight answer about what happens to it, so here is ours.
Your upload travels over TLS and is stored encrypted at rest. Your download links are signed and expire about an hour after your job finishes.
Your manuscript exists to produce your output and nothing else. It is never published, never indexed, and never shown to another author or to any journal.
OSCRSJ does not sell your work and does not train models on your manuscript. We ask for your email only to prevent abuse of a free tool, and we do not share your address.
Formatting a manuscript here gives OSCRSJ no claim over your work and no visibility into where you send it. Format for a competing journal. That is what this is for.
Submission Studio is built with Claude (Fable), the most capable model available today. What reaches your manuscript is deterministic code and the structural reading described above, never a rewrite.
Researchers lose a median of fourteen hours, and $477 in their own time, formatting a single manuscript.1 Not doing science. Moving margins, renumbering references, hunting the author-guidelines PDF for the running-title character limit.
It gets worse after a rejection. Fewer than half of papers land at their first-choice journal,2 and every new target means a new style sheet. Across the literature there are billions of possible combinations of formatting requirements,4 and reformatting alone delays one in five resubmissions by more than three months.2 Ninety-one percent of authors say this system needs to change.2
We publish an orthopedic journal. We got tired of watching good science stall in the style-sheet stage, so we encoded the rules and automated the tedium. Paid services charge $75 per journal, per attempt, and take days.5 This is free, takes minutes, and tells you exactly what it did.
Yes. Both tools are free to use. We ask for your email only to prevent abuse of a free tool. Nothing is charged, and we do not share your address.
A Microsoft Word .docx manuscript (up to 15 MB). You can optionally attach your figures as separate high-resolution image files (JPG, PNG, or TIFF).
No. Your files are used only to produce your formatted output. Nothing is published or indexed, your work is never shown to another author or journal, and your download links expire after about an hour.
No. Formatting or scoring a manuscript here gives OSCRSJ no claim over your work and no visibility into where you submit it. You are free to format for any journal in the list, including our competitors.
No. The Studio makes your manuscript compliant with a journal’s house style. It does not review or guarantee the science, and it is not affiliated with or endorsed by any journal listed. Always confirm against the journal’s current Guide for Authors before submitting.
75 orthopedic journals today, each encoded directly from its published Guide for Authors and re-checked monthly. The full list, with the date each was last verified and a link to the source guide, is on the Supported journals page.
A free tool that scores all 75 orthopedic journals against your manuscript's actual numbers: article type, word count, abstract length, figures, tables, and references. It tells you which journals you are eligible for, which you fit, and exactly how far over each limit you are where you are not. It reads only the numbers you enter, never your manuscript text.
A language model reads document structure only, meaning which lines are the title, authors, affiliations, and references. It never writes, paraphrases, or alters your prose. All formatting is applied by deterministic code.
