Human-led support for responsible AI-use disclosure, AI-assisted writing review, similarity reduction, citation integrity, and journal-policy alignment before submission.

Our service is human-led and designed to improve clarity, transparency, originality, and reference accuracy before journal submission.
What Are AI Compliance Services?
EditPi’s AI compliance services help authors prepare research manuscripts for responsible and transparent submission when AI-assisted writing, AI-use disclosure, similarity concerns, citation integrity, or journal-specific AI policies need attention. The service is human-led and focuses on manuscript quality and research integrity rather than on “beating” detection tools.
Requirements differ between publishers and journals. EditPi therefore reviews the target journal’s current instructions where available and recommends appropriate manuscript revisions, disclosure wording, citation checks, or similarity-related corrections within the agreed service scope.

Why This Service Matters
Authors may face journal questions not because AI use is automatically prohibited, but because policies differ and responsibility remains with the human authors. Common problems include unclear AI-use disclosure, generic or inaccurate AI-assisted wording, unsupported claims, fabricated or mismatched references, excessive text overlap, and inconsistent citation or DOI details.
Common problems include:
-
Clarifies whether and how AI use should be disclosed for the target journal.
-
Improves AI-assisted or machine-like wording through human revision.
-
Checks citations and references for accuracy and traceability.
-
Reduces avoidable similarity through ethical rewriting and citation correction.
-
Helps authors document and present their work more transparently before submission.
Journal AI Policies Differ
AI-use requirements vary between publishers, journals, disciplines, and types of AI assistance.EditPi reviews the target journal’s current author instructions and provides human-led support for disclosure, writing quality, citation integrity, similarity concerns, and submission readiness. EditPi does not certify legal compliance or guarantee journal acceptance, a specific AI-detection score, or a specific similarity percentage.
What EditPi Checks
-
AI-use disclosure requirements stated by the target journal or publisher, where available.
-
AI-assisted or machine-like wording that needs human revision for clarity and academic tone.
-
Text-overlap concerns highlighted in similarity reports, including whether citation or quotation treatment is appropriate.
-
Citation-to-reference matching, reference completeness, DOI/PMID details, and potentially fabricated or mismatched sources.
-
Unsupported or overgeneralized claims that may have entered during AI-assisted drafting.
-
Consistency between manuscript content, references, tables/figures, and submission declarations within the agreed scope.
How We Use AI and Similarity Reports
AI-detection and similarity reports are screening tools, not final judgments of research integrity. Where relevant, EditPi may review reports supplied by the author and use highlighted sections to guide human revision, citation checking, source verification, and manuscript improvement.
A similarity score does not automatically mean plagiarism, and an AI-detection score does not by itself establish how a manuscript was written. EditPi therefore focuses on the underlying text, sources, citations, disclosure requirements, and journal instructions rather than promising a universal score threshold.
Our Core Services
AI-Use Disclosure & Journal Policy Review
We review the target journal’s current instructions where available and prepare or refine disclosure wording that accurately reflects the author’s use of AI-assisted tools.
Human Revision of AI-Assisted Writing
A human editor revises repetitive, generic, awkward, or machine-like language while preserving the author’s technical meaning, data, conclusions, and academic voice.
Similarity Reduction
We address avoidable text overlap through source-aware rewriting, quotation/citation correction, and reference review. We do not disguise copied text or remove valid attribution.
Citation & Reference Integrity Audit
We check citation-to-reference matching, reference details, DOI/PMID information where applicable, and suspicious or unverifiable references within the confirmed scope.
AI-Assisted Claim & Consistency Review
We identify statements that appear unsupported, overly broad, internally inconsistent, or disconnected from the cited evidence, and flag them for correction.
Final Submission-Readiness Check
We review the agreed AI/similarity/citation corrections for consistency and provide final files according to the confirmed order, such as track-changes and clean versions.
What You Receive

-
Revised text for agreed AI-assisted writing or similarity concerns.
-
Citation/reference corrections or audit notes within the confirmed scope.
-
A summary of major issues corrected or requiring author confirmation, where useful.
-
Any agreed report or submission-support file specified in the quote/order.
FAQs
Do you guarantee 0% AI or 0% similarity?
No. EditPi does not guarantee a specific AI-detection or similarity percentage. AI-detection tools can produce uncertain or false-positive results, and there is no universal similarity percentage accepted by every journal, institution, or assignment. Our focus is responsible human revision, accurate citation, appropriate attribution, transparent AI-use disclosure where required, and alignment with the target journal’s current policies.
Can you guarantee that my manuscript will pass an AI detector?
No. Detector results can vary by tool, language, document type, and model version. EditPi improves the manuscript itself rather than promising a detector outcome.
Does a high similarity score mean plagiarism?
Not necessarily. Similarity reports identify matching text. Proper quotations, references, common technical phrases, methods language, and other legitimate text can contribute to a score. The matches need to be reviewed in context.
Will you remove citations to lower similarity?
No. Valid citations and attribution should be preserved. Similarity reduction is performed through responsible rewriting, quotation/citation correction, and source review, not by hiding source use.
Do all journals require AI disclosure?
No. Policies differ between publishers and journals and may also depend on how the AI tool was used. EditPi checks the target journal’s current instructions where available and recommends wording accordingly.
Can AI tools be listed as authors?
Generally, major scholarly-publishing guidance does not recognize AI tools as authors because authorship requires human accountability. The target journal’s current instructions should still be checked.
Does EditPi guarantee journal acceptance?
No. Final editorial decisions are made by the journal. EditPi helps improve manuscript clarity, citation accuracy, transparency, formatting, research-integrity presentation, and submission readiness.
How do I get a quote?
Send your manuscript, word count, target journal, deadline, and any available similarity or AI report. EditPi will review the files and confirm the recommended service, price, timeline, and deliverables before work begins.
Quick Definitions
AI-assisted writing: Human-authored content that has been supported or revised using an AI tool.
AI-generated content: Text, images, code, data summaries, or other content substantially generated by an AI system rather than directly authored by a person.
AI-use disclosure: A statement explaining whether and how an AI tool was used when a journal or publisher requires transparency.
Similarity report: A report showing text matches between a submitted document and material in a comparison database. It does not itself determine plagiarism.
AI-detection report: A probabilistic screening report that estimates whether qualifying text may be AI-generated or AI-altered. It is not definitive proof of authorship.
Hallucinated citation: A reference that is fabricated, incomplete, or does not accurately correspond to the source or claim it is supposed to support.
