The Research University · Author support

Your ideas.
Your scholarly judgment.

Thoughtful support for brainstorming, drafting and revision. The human author develops the contribution, checks the evidence, approves the text and takes responsibility for the work.

  1. 01

    Develop your argument

    Use your preferred tools to brainstorm, outline or revise. Choose what helps your work; using AI is optional and does not confer editorial preference.

  2. 02

    Check the scholarship

    Read the original sources. Verify claims, quotations, citations, rights, methods and limitations yourself. Fluent text is not evidence.

  3. 03

    Prepare the manuscript

    Bring your complete text, author list, abstract and required declarations. Describe actual tool use accurately: substantive drafting or analysis must not be relabeled as brainstorming.

  4. 04

    Approve your submission

    Review every saved field, authenticate each author’s ORCID and record authorship consent. You remain responsible for the complete manuscript.

  5. 05

    Enter independent review

    Appointed human editors manage review, revisions and the publication decision. Software companions retrieve source passages; they are neither authors nor peer reviewers.

Optional writing workspace

Draft or brainstorm in ChatGPT

If the JournalOS connection is available in your ChatGPT account, you can ask it to prepare a private manuscript draft and open the returned Author Studio link. This does not submit or publish your work. You can also prepare the same manuscript directly on this site, with or without AI assistance.

Sign in with ChatGPT →

Sign-in verifies account access. It does not transfer private conversation history, establish research validity or grant editorial authority. Other configured writing clients can deposit private drafts through the authoring integrations.

Confidentiality comes first

Share only material you have permission to disclose. Reviewers and editors must not send confidential manuscripts to an external AI service without explicit permission and assured confidentiality. Keep sensitive participant information out of prompts.
