continuous pipeline from question to manuscript submission
The pipeline

Five stages. One continuous record.

Every step writes to the same living record — so the question you framed on day one still shapes the manuscript you submit.

01
Question

Frame it in any of 12 evidence structures.

02
Draft

Write in a studio that keeps versions, evidence and word budgets.

03
Match

Rank journals your institution trusts, due-diligence attached.

04
Readiness

Check reporting standards, ethics and reviewer-flagged gaps.

05
Review

Specialist peer review from verified researchers, then submit.

Frame & search — free

A precise question is half the answer.

Choose PICO, SPIDER, CoCoPop, PIRD, PFO, PICOC, PICo, CIMO — twelve structures in all. Framing is free and unlimited, and every framed question gives you a search string you can run live against PubMed, Europe PMC, OpenAlex, and Semantic Scholar.

  • A ready-to-run search string built from your question’s key terms
  • Results with source tags and citation counts
  • Every result is a retrieved record from a named index — nothing is generated, so a citation here can’t be fake
  • Save straight into your reference library — 50 references free

Match & submit — with affiliation

The right journal, vetted before you submit.

Nexus ranks journals your institution has reviewed by fit to your manuscript, runs publisher due-diligence with the evidence attached, and routes you to specialist peer review — all on the same record.

  • Fit scoring against your abstract and your institution’s policy
  • Predatory-publisher screening with cited reasons
  • Specialist review and submission tracking on the same record
