§ Article File Analysis

Are your articles complete in metadata, accessible and readable? Can machines and AI tools understand your files?

Upload a single article PDF and we check it against the standards that indexes, search engines and AI tools expect. See what is missing, what needs fixing, and how to fix it — item by item.

§ Why it matters

An unreadable article
cannot be found

A person sees what a PDF says; a machine reads only what is written in its text layer.

Discoverability

If the DOI, ISSN and journal name are not machine-readable on the first page, indexes cannot match the article to your journal.

Citations and attribution

If ORCID, affiliation and corresponding-author details are not read correctly, citations are not counted and authors lose credit.

Compliance

Licence text, ethics and conflict-of-interest statements and a consistent reference list are what indexes and AI-based screening systems look for.

§ What we check

Six groups,
item by item

Each group matches the places indexes and machine-reading systems look at in an article PDF.

1
Bibliographic header

DOI, ISSN, journal name, web address, volume/issue/pages, article type

2
Authors

order, affiliation mapping, corresponding author, ORCID, ROR

3
Dates and content

received/accepted/published, abstract, keywords, English abstract

4
Rights and statements

licence text and URL, ethics, conflict of interest, contributions, funding

5
Layout

first-page structure, columns, heading hierarchy, figure/table captions, reference layout

6
File

text layer, embedded fonts, document properties, accessibility tags, image colour space

42 items in total, each grounded in published guidelines and index expectations.

§ How it works

Three
steps

Validate your template once; every article produced from it benefits from the same fix.

1

Upload

Enter your journal's ISSN and the name is fetched; choose one article PDF and answer four short questions.

2

We check

The file is measured for machine readability; the first page, statements and references are additionally read and assessed. Usually under a minute.

3

Fix and retry

Evidence and a correction instruction for every item. Fix the template and upload again — free for 30 days. When everything is in place you get the "Compliant" mark.

§ What you get

An evidence-backed
result page

On the left, your article's first page with the finding marked; on the right, the items in three groups.

Example result page A real result page; journal and author names are blurred.
  • Three groups: missing — add · present — fix · compliant
  • Page, quotation and an on-page marker for every item
  • Correction instructions written for editors (TR/EN)
  • Printable report you can hand straight to your typesetter

§ Frequently asked

Five
questions

Click a question to open the answer.

Which files do you check?

A single article PDF. Not issue archives or bulk files — the goal is to validate your template.

Scanned PDFs?

Files without a text layer cannot be analysed; we tell you immediately and you are not charged.

My journal name is in the logo.

Machines cannot read logos; the name and ISSN must also appear as text. The report points this out.

What does "Compliant" mean?

All mandatory items are in place and at most three recommendations are missing. It is not an admission guarantee; indexes make their own assessment.

Is my file stored?

It is kept with the result for 90 days, then deleted; the report remains.
