HUMAN-LED AI-USE AND MANUSCRIPT INTEGRITY REVIEW
AI Compliance Services for Research Manuscripts
Prepare AI-assisted or similarity-flagged manuscripts for transparent, source-aligned submission. EditPi's human reviewers can examine target-journal AI instructions, disclosure requirements, highlighted text, citations, reference details, source-supported claims and manuscript consistency within the agreed scope.
We do not certify universal AI compliance or guarantee a detector score. We improve and verify the manuscript itself, document unresolved questions and return final decisions to the responsible authors.

AI COMPLIANCE SERVICES
What do you need checked before submission
Choose one review or combine several within a written scope. The appropriate service depends on how AI tools were used, the available reports, the target journal and the level of verification required.
AI-use disclosure and policy review
Check current target-journal instructions where available and prepare accurate disclosure wording based on the author's actual use of AI tools.
Human revision of AI-assisted writing
Revise repetitive, generic, unclear or contextually unsuitable language while preserving the author's technical meaning and decisions.
Similarity review and responsible reduction
Review text matches in context and correct avoidable overlap through source-aware rewriting, quotation and citation treatment.
Citation and reference integrity
Check agreed citation-reference matches, reference details and DOI or PMID information, and flag potentially unverifiable sources.
Manuscript Evidence Audit
Compare selected claims with sources and check agreed numbers across the manuscript, tables, figures and supplementary materials.
Final integrity and consistency check
Review the agreed corrections, disclosure wording, references and author queries before the files are returned.
AI can assist the workflow. Expert review checks what must be defensible.
AI tools can support drafting, summarization and organization. Their outputs do not independently confirm that a source exists, a claim is supported, a statistical statement matches the reported result or a journal's current disclosure requirements have been met.
01
Check the evidence
Review selected references, DOI details, cited sources and claim support within the agreed verification level.
02
Check the manuscript
Identify unsupported statements, inconsistent numbers, unclear attribution and contradictions between relevant files.
03
Return decisions to authors
Document unresolved scientific, ethical or disclosure questions for the responsible authors to confirm.
SCOPE NOTE
EditPi provides editorial, verification and publication-support services. Authors remain responsible for the research, use of AI tools, scientific claims, authorship and final submission.
Review the target journal policy and describe AI use accurately
AI-use requirements vary between publishers, journals, disciplines and types of assistance. EditPi reviews the target journal's current instructions where available and helps prepare disclosure wording that reflects how the author actually used an AI-assisted tool.
IMPORTANT NOTE
EditPi does not determine legal compliance and does not certify that one disclosure statement will satisfy every journal. Policies may change, so the target instructions should be checked again at the point of submission.
01
Current instructions
Identify relevant AI-use or authorship statements in the target journal or publisher guidance available at the time of review.
02
Type of assistance
Distinguish drafting, language revision, summarization, image generation, coding or other reported uses when relevant to the policy.
03
Disclosure location
Identify whether the journal requests disclosure in the manuscript, acknowledgements, methods, cover letter or submission system.
04
Author confirmation
Return the proposed wording and unresolved policy questions to the authors for confirmation before submission.
Improve the manuscript without hiding how sources were used
Human revision and similarity review address different problems. One improves language and contextual accuracy; the other examines text matches and attribution. Neither service should be presented as a guarantee of a particular detector or similarity score.
LANGUAGE AND ACCURACY
Human revision of AI-assisted writing
Revise generic, repetitive, formulaic, awkward or contextually inaccurate wording. Preserve technical meaning, reported data, author decisions and discipline-specific terminology. Flag content that cannot be corrected without author input.
MATCHES AND ATTRIBUTION
Similarity review and responsible reduction
Review supplied similarity matches in context. Correct avoidable overlap through source-aware rewriting, quotation treatment, citation correction and reference review. Retain necessary technical terminology and valid attribution.
INTEGRITY NOTE
EditPi does not disguise copied text, remove valid citations, invent alternative sources or promise a universal similarity threshold. A similarity report identifies matched text; it does not independently determine plagiarism.
Check whether the cited record exists and is connected to the manuscript
AI-assisted drafting can introduce incomplete, mismatched or fabricated references. Citation integrity review examines the agreed records and connections between in-text citations and the reference list. Source-level verification is included only when stated in the written scope.
Checks available
✔ Citation-to-reference matching
✔ Reference completeness and duplicate- record review
✔ DOI, PMID or other identifier checking where applicable
✔ Potentially fabricated, unverifiable or mismatched references
✔ Reference-style correction when formatting is included
✔ Source relevance or claim support when evidence verification is selected
Possible outputs
Corrected reference list.
Citation and reference query log.
Identifier-verification notes.
List of records requiring author clarification.
Source-support findings when included.
SCOPE STATEMENT
The quote should state whether the review covers all references, a selected sample, author-identified records or formatting only.
Manuscript Evidence Audit
Verify references, claims, numbers and manuscript consistency before submission
A fluent manuscript can still contain a nonexistent reference, a citation that does not support the stated claim, or a number that changes between the abstract, text, table and figure. The Manuscript Evidence Audit adds a documented human-verification step before submission, resubmission or peer-review revision.
01
Reference and DOI verification
Check agreed references, identifiers and citation-reference matching.
02
Claim-to-source verification
Compare selected manuscript claims with the cited sources supplied or accessible within the agreed scope.
03
Data and numerical consistency
Compare agreed values across the abstract, text, tables, figures and supplementary materials.
04
Integrity and journal-readiness check
Review agreed evidence corrections, unresolved questions and relevant declarations before return.
Findings log
Where included, the findings log records the item checked, the issue identified, the source or manuscript location reviewed, the action taken and any question requiring author confirmation. It does not replace author responsibility for the research or original data.
Use reports as screening information, not final judgments
Similarity report
How EditPi interprets it
Shows text matches with content in a comparison database. Legitimate quotations, references, common technical wording and methods language may contribute to matches. Each relevant match must be interpreted in context.
AI-writing report
How EditPi interprets it
Provides a probabilistic indicator for qualifying text. Results can vary by tool, language, document type and model version and do not independently prove who wrote the manuscript or whether misconduct occurred.
CONCLUSION
EditPi focuses on the manuscript itself: its language, sources, citations, disclosure requirements, evidence and internal consistency. Reports may guide the review, but they do not replace qualified human judgement or the relevant institutional and journal policies.
