ORBITORBIT is a research publishing pipeline — Discover, Check, Submit, Present — ten tools that share one credit pool. Four are free, six cost 1–3 credits drawn from the same pool. Between them they cover 21 formatting templates and 11 journal profiles, plus literature, dataset and journal discovery.
Upload a finished .docx up to 4.5 MB, pick one of 21 templates — IEEE, ACM, Elsevier, Springer, Nature, ACS, MDPI, Wiley, Taylor & Francis, Frontiers, PLOS ONE, IOP Publishing, Cell Press, BMC, SAGE, APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, AMA and Vancouver — and download the same paper typeset to that specification. Journals not on the list can be handled by uploading the journal's own .docx template, which ORBIT reads the page layout, fonts, columns and styles out of.
ORBIT edits your own document rather than rebuilding it from extracted text. It unzips the .docx, rewrites word/document.xml and word/styles.xml, and re-zips. Everything it does not touch survives byte for byte, which is why figures, tables, embedded equations, footnotes, numbering and inline formatting come through unchanged.
Formatting is a deterministic transformation of your file, not a generative one. No language model is involved and your manuscript text is never sent to a third-party AI service.
Pick a target journal, upload your manuscript, and get 122+ compliance checks across 12 categories with a specific fix for anything that fails. 11 journal profiles are available, scoped to computer science, AI and machine learning; 8 of them are transcribed directly from the publisher's own author-guidelines page.
The manuscript is unzipped and analysed by JavaScript in your own browser. There is no upload step because there is nothing to upload to. Only the resulting score, the journal name and a one-way fingerprint of the title are recorded against your account.
Where a journal publishes no rule for a check, the check returns "not stated" and is excluded from the score rather than counted as a pass. Silence is never scored as compliance.
On the free Base plan you get 5 free credits and 10 searches in each free tool every month. Starter (₹799 a month or ₹8,630 a year) and Ultra (₹1,499 a month or ₹16,190 a year) give 10 and 25 credits every 30 days, 20 and 50 searches, and a Library; they renew on their own until you turn auto-renew off, or you can buy a 30-day pass that does not renew. Top-ups cost ₹150 a credit in packs of 5, 10 or 15 and do not expire while the account is active. Most things cost one credit; a readiness check against a named journal and a conversion to your own uploaded template cost 2. Plan credits cover all of it, and no card is kept on file. The exception is a university email address: until its institution sets up ORBIT, it joins a waitlist for that institution instead of getting free credits, and it can still buy credits.
Top-ups: 5 credits for ₹750, 10 credits for ₹1,500, 15 credits for ₹2,250.
