Refereely runs your manuscript past a council of AI peer reviewers — sharp, quote-grounded feedback on your contribution, methods, and clarity — so you can fix the problems before an editor sees them. Every review comes with a ready-made discussion slide deck.
A free first look at your own paper, in under a minute: the paper in brief, one concern in full, and a preview of your discussion slides. No card needed.
For authors, on your own work · Confidential · Disclose AI use per your journal's policy
Three steps. A few minutes. One consolidated review you can act on.
Drop in a PDF and tell us the field and target journal. We tune the reviewing standards to match. Reviewing a policy paper or government report? Tick the policy option instead.
Several independent AI peer reviewers critique your paper from different angles — then cross-check each other to filter out mistakes.
Prioritised major concerns, minor fixes, and readability stats — every point grounded in a quote from your paper. Download it as a Word referee report or as a ready-made slide deck.
Not sure yet? Start with a free first look. One reviewer reads your paper and shows you the paper in brief, one concern in full and the headlines of the rest, in under a minute. Then get the full review and slides for one credit, with no need to upload again.
Not a chatbot that flatters your draft — a disciplined panel built to catch what a reviewer would.
Multiple independent AI peer reviewers plus an adversarial verification pass. Findings that survive scrutiny are flagged high-confidence; plausible-but-wrong criticisms are filtered out.
Every concern points to the exact text it's about — so you can act on it, not guess what it means.
Strongest across the social sciences and humanities — including law, business, and economics. Tell us your field and target journal, and we calibrate the model to match. Policy papers and government reports get their own standards: problem definition, evidence, options and feasibility.
Flesch, Gunning Fog, SMOG and more computed on your prose, with field benchmarks — so you know where to tighten.
Every review comes with a PowerPoint deck: the paper in brief, then one slide per major comment setting out what the paper does, the concern, and the suggested fix. Use it for a conference discussion, a seminar, or a co-author meeting.
Download the review as a Word referee report with numbered major and minor comments, each one stating where in the paper it applies. Edit it, share it, or work through it line by line.
Your manuscript is used only to generate your review, never to train any AI model, and the file is deleted as soon as your review is ready.
Pre-submission help on your own work — consistent with major publishers' policies that allow AI assistance on your manuscript. Disclose AI use per your target journal's policy.
Your first review is free. After that, buyBuy credits — one credit is one full council review, with the Word referee report and the discussion slide deck included. No subscription.
Every credit includes all three: the full council review, an editable Word referee report, and a PowerPoint deck of discussion slides.
For comparison, a single human pre-submission review typically runs $200–$400.
Refereely's AI peer reviewers give you a peer-review-grade critique to strengthen your paper before you submit. It complements formal journal peer review rather than replacing it — disclose any AI use per your target journal's policy.
Yes. It's used only to generate your review, it is never used to train any AI model, and the uploaded file is deleted automatically once your review is produced. A file uploaded for a free first look is kept for up to 24 hours, so that you can go on to the full review without uploading again, and is then deleted.
Refereely is strongest in the social sciences and humanities, including law, business, and economics. You tell us the target journal and field, and we calibrate the model to match. It also reviews policy papers, government reports and submissions to inquiries: tick the policy option when you upload, and the paper is judged on its problem definition, evidence, options and feasibility instead of journal fit.
One consolidated review on the page, a Word referee report you can edit, and a PowerPoint deck of discussion and referee slides. The deck opens with the paper in brief and gives each major comment its own slide, so it works for a conference discussion as well as a co-author meeting. All three are included in a single review credit.
Yes, in two ways. Get a free first look at your own paper: the paper in brief, one concern in full, the headlines of the rest and a short preview of the slides. Or read Yes. We publish a complete example: a real review of a public report, with the Word referee report and the slide deck to download, and a list of what we corrected when we checked it.
A quick preview on your own paper before you spend a credit. One AI reviewer reads the paper and, in under a minute, shows you the paper in brief, one concern in full and the headlines of its other concerns. For an empirical paper it adds a verdict on each item of the econometrics checklist. You can download a short preview of the slide deck. It is one reviewer's first pass, so nothing in it has been cross-checked yet. The full review puts the paper in front of the whole council, verifies every concern, and adds the Word referee report and the complete slide deck, for one credit and without uploading again. One free first look per account.
A few minutes. Upload, and your review appears when it's ready.
