Automatic Journal Formatting · Tracked Changes in Word

Your journal’s formatting, applied as tracked changes in Word.

Select your target journal and its requirements are applied to your manuscript as real tracked changes in a real Word document — every edit visible, every change yours to accept or reject. Not a rewritten file you have to trust blindly, and not a diff you have to squint at.

The honest case

The problem with every other AI editor.

Most AI editing tools do one of two things: they rewrite your text and hand you a clean document with no indication of what changed, or they highlight differences in a web interface you cannot use in your actual workflow.

Neither works for academic manuscripts. Your co-authors need to see what changed. Your advisor needs to approve edits. Your journal may require a tracked changes version with your revision.

You need standard tracked changes in Word — the format every researcher, editor, and reviewer already knows. That is what PeerReviewAI delivers.

Two reviewers

Two editing layers, one document.

Your document is edited by two independent reviewers — journal formatting and language — each focused on its own dimension, each color-coded with its own name in the tracked changes.

Journal Formatting Edits · Included with Peer Review
Formatting edits

When you select a target journal, formatting edits are tailored to that journal's actual author instructions — not generic best practices. You can also upload your journal's guidelines directly if they are not already on hand. Reference style, section order, word limits, figure requirements, abstract structure — all checked and corrected as tracked changes. What used to take hours of tedious reformatting happens automatically in your tracked changes document.

ESL Language Editing · $19.99 add-on
Language edits

Optional for non-native English speakers. Targets the patterns that mark ESL academic writing — article usage, prepositions, hedging, academic register, nominalizations, collocations. Each correction appears in its own color, separate from formatting edits.

PeerReviewAI — Language Quality
The deliverable

What you get back.

A standard .docx file. Open it in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or any tracked-changes-capable word processor. Each reviewer's edits appear in their own color and name — insertions, deletions, and replacements, just like a human reviewer.

Accept the changes you agree with. Reject the ones you do not. No new software to learn. No web interface to navigate. Just a Word document that works the way Word documents have always worked.

Color-coded by reviewer
Journal-formatting edits and ESL language edits each appear in a distinct color so you can tell at a glance which type of edit you are reviewing.
Standard Word format
Real tracked changes — not a simulated diff. Works natively in Microsoft Word, and in any application that supports the .docx tracked changes standard.
Accept or reject individually
Every edit is an independent tracked change. Accept what improves your manuscript, reject the rest. Full control.
Your formatting preserved
Document structure, styles, headings, references, and figures stay intact. Edits happen within your existing formatting.
Included with Peer Review · $49
