Preparing a submission for The Protein Journal
The Protein Journal sets its own submission rules: length and word limits, the required citation and reference style, figure and table formatting, and editorial policies. Scraiber tracks 10 requirements for The Protein Journal and rewrites your manuscript to meet each one.
Instead of checking each rule by hand, import your draft into Scraiber, select The Protein Journal, and let it rewrite your text to match: the exact word limits, reference style and structure, so your paper is submission-ready.
If the paper was rejected elsewhere, most of the work in retargeting The Protein Journal is mechanical: the reference style changes, headings and sections move, word and abstract limits differ, and the declarations have to follow The Protein Journal's own template. Scraiber applies those changes to the draft you already have instead of you rebuilding the manuscript by hand.

- Formatting & submission 9 rules: abbreviation rules, citation style, competing interests, contributor roles, cover letter, data availability, ethics statement, in text citation format, units.
What Scraiber changes in your manuscript
Scraiber rewrites the parts of your draft that The Protein Journal constrains: it brings sections within the required lengths, converts in-text citations and the bibliography to the required style, adjusts headings and structure, and flags the declarations The Protein Journal expects. Your argument, results and voice stay yours — only what the journal dictates changes.
