Reporting and house-style checks

Running checks

Open the Checks panel, or ask your connected agent to run them (run_checks). Results are grouped by severity; each item links to the paragraph it concerns and many offer a one-click fix as a tracked change. The checks themselves are deterministic — no model is involved — so they work in every mode.

What is checked

• Reporting guideline items for the manuscript type (CONSORT, PRISMA 2020, STROBE, CARE, SPIRIT, ARRIVE, STARD, TRIPOD).
• Journal limits from the front matter: words per section, abstract length, figure and table counts, keyword count, reference count.
• Front matter completeness: authors with roles, disclosures, ethics and data statements, structured abstract sections.
• House style: abbreviations defined at first use, consistent units and spelling variant, numbers at sentence start, p-value formatting, table and figure numbering and references to them.
• Citation and evidence integrity: unresolved citations; citations to retracted, superseded, corrected or questioned works; numbers whose evidence came from such a work; numbers without a verified source.

Export gate

Errors block export; warnings do not. Either can be overridden with a reason that is recorded in the manuscript's audit log.
