Paperpal Preflight Presubmission Check

Paperpal Preflight has partnered with EndNote to provide presubmission assessments of writers' documents for a one-time fee for each document. You can access the Preflight submission site directly from Microsoft Word through the Cite While You Write (CWYW) toolbar in EndNote.

Trained on millions of published articles, Preflight helps EndNote users identify and correct technical and language issues in their manuscript prior to submission, minimizing chances of desk rejection. To submit your article for assessment:

  1. Open your default browser, and go to Word.
  2. In Word, close and save your document but leave Word open. Preflight will accept both Word documents and PDFs for assessment.
  3. Click the Preflight Presubmission Check button in the EndNote toolbar.
