Submissions

Collect quality submissions and clean metadata

With manual submission processes, there’s a lot that can go wrong. Incorrect affiliations, missing email addresses, etc. This all causes issues down the line.

When authors submit via ChronosHub, we pull most of what’s needed from the manuscript itself using AI and automatically show them relevant details about agreements and waivers.

De-stress your authors

You won’t just save them valuable time. You’ll give them peace of mind over any expected charges and funder compliance.

Do less cleanup

By flagging errors early in the process and verifying metadata against known identifiers, you’ll spend less time chasing corrections post-submission.

Tailor to your needs

Our submission flow bends to each journal’s requirements. You decide what text and which fields are shown. That goes for standard and custom questions.

Streamline author interactions Extract metadata with AI

AI that saves you time

Once a manuscript is uploaded, ChronosHub’s AI kicks in.

It extracts information like the article title, abstract, and author roles from the file, and adds it to the correct fields on the page. In seconds.

Author-related metadata is matched against identifiers such as ROR, Ringold, and ORCID. Any unverified data is flagged so the author can manually correct it.

Automatic discount detection

When publishing open access, authors can be unaware of discounts they’re eligible for. ChronosHub makes sure they don’t miss out by automatically showing discounts and waivers against the article’s required author charges, such page charges and/or APCs.

These deductions are usually linked to the corresponding author’s affiliation. But you can also choose different criteria, such as submission or publication date.

Calculate APC discounts automatically
Check funder compliance

Funder compliance checks

After extracting the funder acknowledgement from the manuscript, ChronosHub verifies the funder—against our own and other databases. The system then confirms whether the journal is compliant with the funder’s policy.

Something doesn’t add up? The author is clearly shown what information may be incorrect, so they can double-check it or contact their funder.

Direct ingestion into peer review

ChronosHub integrates with whatever peer review system(s) you use.

Once an author presses ‘Submit’, the article’s metadata is transformed into the correct format and transferred, along with the manuscript and any additional files. No manual uploads or data entry needed from your side.
