Submissions

Collect quality submissions and clean metadata

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

When authors submit via ChronosHub, our AI pulls from the manuscript and automatically fetches relevant 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 as page charges or article processing charges (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.

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 transfer into peer review

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

Once an author presses ‘Submit’, the metadata is formatted and transferred automatically, along with the manuscript and any supporting files. No manual uploads or data entry needed from your side.
