ORBITORBIT is a solo project by Aditya Singh, a researcher who got tired of reformatting the same paper for each journal it was submitted to. It is built and maintained by one person, and says so rather than implying a team.
Of the 21 templates, IEEE, ACM, Nature, ACS, MDPI, Taylor & Francis, Frontiers, PLOS ONE, IOP Publishing, Cell Press, BMC, APA, MLA and AMA were transcribed from the publisher's own Word template, class file or author page, each dated, and the first ones checked (IEEE, ACM and Springer) all turned out to be wrong before they were corrected. Elsevier, Springer, Wiley, SAGE, Chicago, Harvard and Vancouver are labelled unverified rather than presented as confirmed: their publishers either state no strict formatting requirement at submission, keep page layout behind a bot block or a paid manual, or state a rule ORBIT does not yet apply. An unverified template still formats a paper exactly as its specification says; it has simply never been confirmed against the publisher.
Of the 11 journal profiles, 8 are transcribed from the publisher's own author-guidelines page. The rest fall back to their citation style's defaults because their publishers block automated reading, and are labelled unverified in the picker.
Every claim on this site is meant to be one you can check. Where a specification could not be sourced, the page says so instead of showing a tick nobody earned.
The same rule is applied to ORBIT's own performance. Every tool was called against the live product on 7 September 2026 and timed, and the results are at /benchmark — including the 8 of 11 rows that carry no accuracy figure, each saying why. Two of the tools write prose, which has no correct answer to score against, and inventing a scale to mark ourselves against would be worth less than the empty cell.
Support, bug reports, billing questions and partnership enquiries all reach Aditya Singh directly at adisingh.cs@gmail.com, usually answered within 24 hours.
ORBIT was founded and is built by Aditya Singh, an independent researcher and software engineer based in India. ORBIT is a solo project: one person writes the code, verifies every journal template against the publisher's own documentation, answers the support email and runs the business. There is no team, no investors and no co-founder, and the site says so on every page rather than using "we" to imply a company that does not exist.
Aditya Singh can be reached at adisingh.cs@gmail.com, and publishes at github.com/adisingh-cs, x.com/adityas_ae and linkedin.com/in/adityas-ae. Support, billing, institutional enquiries and privacy requests all reach the same person directly.
ORBIT is a research publishing pipeline: a set of ten web tools that take an academic paper from finding the literature through to presenting the finished work. The four stages are discover (literature search, dataset search, journal suggestion), check (readiness check against a journal's own rules, reference verification), submit (formatting to a journal template, cover letter) and present (paper-to-slides, figure building). ORBIT is used through a browser, requires no installation, and never asks for a card to create an account.
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. Four of the ten tools take no credit at all. A journal formatting run costs 1 credit, a readiness check against a specific journal costs 2, and a cover letter costs 1.
