Manuscript Editor
Write your paper in the same place you do your research
A rich-text manuscript editor built for academic writing. Auto-save as you type, validate against submission guidelines before you submit, assign peer reviewers, and collaborate with your team. Your citations, documents, and annotations are all in the same workspace.
Everything you need to write and submit
Auto-save
Every change is saved automatically as you type. Word count updates in real time. No more lost work from forgotten saves.
Submission guidelines
Set up journal-specific rules like word count limits, required sections, heading depth, image count, reference count, and more. Alfred checks your manuscript against these rules before you submit.
14 validation rule types
Word count, required sections, heading depth, image limits, table limits, forbidden elements, section word counts, reference count, citation style, keywords count, structured abstracts, required declarations, citation cross-references, and bibliography order.
Rich text formatting
Bold, italic, headings, lists, tables, images, links, and more. The editor supports everything you need for academic papers without the complexity of LaTeX.
Peer review tracking
Assign reviewers to your manuscript, collect structured feedback with threaded comments, and track the entire review cycle within your workspace.
Team collaboration
Share manuscripts with co-authors in your workspace. Everyone works on the same document with role-based access controls (Owner, Editor, Viewer).
