The research pipeline, the templates behind it, pricing, and what happens to your manuscript.
ORBIT (Optimized Research Blueprint and Instant Templating) is a research publishing pipeline — Discover, Check, Submit, Present — ten tools that share one credit pool. Literature and Dataset Discovery find what to build on; Readiness Check tests a manuscript against a journal's stated rules; Format Paper, Journal Suggestion, Cover Letter and Conference Deadlines get it submitted; Paper to Slides turns it into a talk. Four tools are free, six cost 1–3 credits.
You need to sign in with your Google account to use either tool. Sign-in is what lets us track your free monthly credits and any paid credits you've purchased. Browsing the site, reading templates, and exploring pricing does not require an account.
Yes. Every account gets 5 free credits per calendar month at no cost, and no card is required. They reset on the first of every month. Four tools are free — Literature Discovery search, Dataset Discovery, Journal Suggestion and Conference Deadlines — the rest cost 1–3 credits: 1 for a standard format, a readiness check against a style system, a cover letter or a deck outline; 2 for a named-journal readiness check or a custom-template format; 3 for a narrated deck. Your free credits cover every one of them.
Yes. ORBIT works on mobile, tablet and desktop browsers — you can upload a .docx, pick a template, and download the formatted paper from a phone. The readiness check also runs on mobile, though it analyses the document on your own device, so a long manuscript will take longer on a phone than on a laptop.
ORBIT currently accepts .docx files (Microsoft Word format) as input and produces a formatted .docx file as output. PDF input and LaTeX export are on the roadmap.
Most conversions finish in seconds. Processing time varies with document length and complexity — a short paper is close to instant, a long one with many figures takes longer.
After the conversion is complete, a download button appears in your browser. Click it to download the formatted .docx file directly to your device. There is no email delivery — the download is immediate.
Never. ORBIT only changes the formatting — fonts, margins, column layout, heading styles, citation format — not a single word of your research content is altered.
It is transformed in memory and sent straight back to you — no copy is written to disk or kept anywhere. What we record is the metadata around the job: the template, the file name and size, and the timestamp.
ORBIT preserves all text, tables, figures, and inline equations from your original .docx file. For highly complex mathematical notation (LaTeX-style), we recommend a quick review after conversion to ensure correct rendering.
ORBIT supports seven templates: IEEE, ACM, Elsevier, Springer, APA, MLA and Chicago. Harvard, ACS and Nature are marked coming soon — they are not yet built, and we would rather say so than format your paper to a specification we guessed. See the Templates page for what each one applies.
Yes. Select 'Custom Template' in the tool and upload your journal's own .docx template file. ORBIT will reformat your paper to match it exactly — including custom layouts, branding, or unusual column structures your journal may use.
Three of them were read from the publisher's own document and corrected against it — IEEE, ACM and Springer. Every one of those three turned out to have been wrong before we checked, which is why we no longer claim accuracy we haven't verified. The other four are honest about their footing: Elsevier publishes no strict formatting requirements at submission, and APA, MLA and Chicago keep page layout behind a bot block or a paid manual, so nobody has been able to verify them against a source. Each template carries a link to the document its rules came from, and the picker says which state it is in. Always do a final visual review before you submit.
Because we could not read the publisher's own specification for them. A template that is not confirmed still formats your paper — it just means the numbers behind it have not been checked against a source we can point you at. Every card states which of the two is true on its face, and we would rather say it plainly than show a green tick we haven't earned. The link in the full specification takes you to the publisher's page so you can check it yourself.
Yes. We regularly add new templates based on user demand. If your journal format is not currently available, contact us via the Contact page or WhatsApp and we'll consider adding it.
It reads a finished manuscript against a journal's own submission guidelines and reports what does not comply yet — page and margin geometry, required sections and their order, title and keyword limits, citation style, figure and table caption rules, language checks, and metadata like author affiliations. Every failing check is paired with the specific change that fixes it, and you can download the whole report as a PDF.
No — and this is the part worth understanding. The .docx is unzipped and analysed by JavaScript running in your own browser, on your own processor. There is no upload step because there is nothing to upload to. Only your score and the journal name are recorded against your account. This is how the tool is built, not a policy promise.
It means the journal does not publish a rule for that check anywhere we can source, so it is excluded from your score rather than counted as a pass. Most compliance tools score every rule whether the journal states one or not, which quietly turns silence into a passing grade. A check here has three outcomes — pass, fail, and not stated — and only the first two count toward your score.
Yes. Paste the URL of that journal's author-guidelines page and ORBIT reads the rules straight off it. Anything the page does not state stays "not stated" in your report rather than being guessed at. A profile read this way is labelled as scraped and unverified by a human, so treat the report as a first pass.
Coverage is deliberately narrow and scoped to computer science, AI and machine learning. Eight journals were transcribed by hand from the publisher's own author-guidelines page. Three more — ACM Computing Surveys, ACM Transactions on Information Systems, and Heliyon — are available but fall back to their citation style's defaults, because their publishers block automated reading of the guidelines page. They are labelled as unverified in the picker. We would rather cover a small number accurately than claim fifty and invent the numbers.
Usually. A readiness check against a built-in style system costs 1 credit, the same as a standard format — both from the same pool. A readiness check against a named journal costs 2, same as a custom-template format; a narrated deck costs 3. Your free credits cover every price.
A tool that turns a data table into a publication figure. Upload a CSV, TSV or XLSX and it reads the columns — what is a category, what is a number, what is a date — and offers the figure types that actually fit that shape, 45 of them across comparison, distribution, relationship, trend, composition, matrix, model-evaluation, clinical and flow families. You pick one and export it.
1 credit per table, charged when the table is read. After that every figure type and every export is free — try all 45, re-export at a different size, change your mind, none of it costs another credit. If no figure type fits the table, nothing is charged. Re-running the same table within a day returns the same analysis without charging again.
SVG, PNG at 300, 600 or 1200 DPI, and PDF. The PDF is real vector output — text stays text and lines stay lines, so it scales and prints without softening. JPEG, TIFF and EPS are not offered: JPEG is lossy and wrong for line art, and TIFF and EPS are legacy submission formats that most publishers now accept a PDF in place of. If a journal insists on TIFF, open the PDF and export one.
Computed, and refused when they cannot be. Error bars are drawn only from a column you identify as error or standard deviation — never inferred from a spare numeric column. Regression lines, confidence bands, box-plot quartiles and histogram bins are calculated from your values with published methods, and every statistical function is tested against a worked example from the literature rather than against its own output. Where the data does not support a figure type, the type is not offered.
The table is parsed in your browser. What crosses the network is the schema — column names, inferred types, row count — and never the cell values, which is enforced by a test rather than by a promise. Figures are rendered in the browser from that schema and your local data. Nothing is written to disk.
The default palette is neutral and colourblind-safe, chosen for print rather than for a screen. Brand palettes exist as an option and are never the default — a figure in a paper belongs to the paper, not to the tool that drew it.
A tool that resolves every reference in your bibliography against Crossref and reports what it finds: entries that no longer resolve, entries whose author, year, journal or page numbers disagree with the published record, and papers that have been retracted. In manuscript mode it also reads the body text, so it can name citations that have no entry in your list and entries in your list that the manuscript never cites.
Two things. It reads the manuscript, not just the list — so it catches the in-text mismatches a list-only checker cannot see, which is where most real reference errors live. And it checks the list against your target journal's own referencing rules, not a generic style guide. It is not a hallucination detector; it resolves what you wrote against the published record and tells you where the two differ.
1 credit for a pasted list and 2 for a full manuscript audit, charged once per check. Restyling the corrected list into any of the seven supported styles is free, and so is the .docx download — as many times as you like. If the check finds nothing at all, it is free: that is most often a vendor outage, which is the worst possible moment to charge. Re-running the same list on the same day returns the original receipt rather than charging twice.
It is flagged and left exactly as you wrote it. Nothing is invented, corrected on a guess, or quietly dropped. A reference ORBIT could not find in Crossref may still be perfectly real — a book, a thesis, a preprint, a conference paper that was never deposited — and the report says so rather than pretending to know better.
As accurate as Crossref, which is to say usually excellent and occasionally incomplete. Publishers deposit their own records and some deposit them badly — a missing page range, an initial where a full name belongs, a journal title abbreviated differently. Every field is therefore flagged individually with what the record says and what you wrote, so you can judge a disagreement rather than accept a correction.
A .docx manuscript or a pasted reference list, up to 300 references in one run. PDF is not supported: pulling a reference list out of a two-column PDF is materially harder than out of a .docx, and a half-read bibliography is worse than none. Export your manuscript as .docx and it reads cleanly. Over 300 references the check refuses rather than silently truncating, because a shortened audit that does not say it was shortened is the one failure mode worth refusing.
Every account gets 5 free credits per month — no payment needed, no card required. Beyond that credits cost ₹500 each: 2 for ₹1,000, 4 for ₹2,000, 10 for ₹5,000. Paid credits never expire.
No. Paid conversion credits never expire. Buy them whenever you need them and use them at your own pace — they remain in your account indefinitely.

After payment, send a screenshot to WhatsApp (+91 9173400522) with your account email. Credits are added within a few hours after verification.
All credit purchases are final. No refunds are provided once a payment is completed, because delivery is instant and digital. Use your free monthly credits to try every tool before you buy anything. See the full Refund Policy for details.
Different pipeline stages handle your file differently, so it's worth being precise. A readiness check never transmits your manuscript at all — it is parsed and analysed in your own browser. A formatting conversion does send the .docx over HTTPS to the function that rewrites it; the file is transformed in memory and sent straight back, and no copy is kept. No stage stores your document, and no third-party AI model ever sees your text.
Your Google identity (email, name, profile picture), your credit balance and how much of the month's free allowance you've used, and a record of each conversion and readiness check: date, template or journal, outcome, score, and the name and size of the file you submitted. Nothing from inside your documents — their contents are never stored.
Both, and you don't have to ask us. Account & data in your dashboard downloads everything above as a JSON file, and deletes your account outright — that erases your history and any remaining credits, including paid ones, immediately and permanently.
