Ensuring that every submission is correctly matched to the most suitable journal in your portfolio is a critical challenge for publishers. Manuscripts submitted that are out of scope can considerably delay the publishing process, increase editorial load, and create frustration for authors. At the same time, keeping submissions within your journal portfolio is essential for business. We are excited to introduce a powerful new feature in Eliza: automated scope-checking and journal recommendations. What’s new?

• Automatic scope screening: publishers save time through AI–supported checking of suitability of a new submission for the targeted publication.
• Quick recommendations: an out-of-scope submission can be rerouted to an alternative publication in your portfolio.
• Increased author service: in case their manuscript is out of scope, authors now quickly receive recommendations for alternative publications.

These features offer key benefits for publishers by reducing the time spent on manual screening. By keeping journal recommendations within your own portfolio, submission retention is maximized. Authors also enjoy a smoother experience, with fewer delays caused by resubmissions. Interested in learning more? Contact us to request free access or to schedule a demo.
