For researchers

The researcher side: the “pre-submission bridge”

Bypass the 12-month publishing bottleneck. Fix your formatting instantly, lock your IP mathematically, and get Tier-1 peer review in days—not months.

End-to-end flow

From first upload to sealed, review-backed submission—every stage is built for speed, proof, and journal-grade rigor.

1
Upload and isolation
You upload your manuscript. It is routed immediately to our self-hosted, secure environment—no wandering copies on third-party APIs.
2
AI Integrity Layer (first gate)
Localized AI scans structure, formatting, duplicate passages, and missing citations so problems surface here—not at a journal’s desk.
3
Instant actionable audit
You get a Readiness Score and precise fixes for the structural issues that typically trigger automatic desk rejections at major journals.
4
Integritas Vault (POD minting)
Before any human reviewer sees the work, mint a Proof of Discovery (POD): the file’s hash is timestamped on-chain with IPFS via Pinata—mathematical proof of ownership.
5
GEAR Network routing
The cleaned, verified manuscript enters our double-blind GEAR matching system so reviews stay arm’s-length and role-appropriate.
6
Review and resolution
You receive detailed feedback from a verified academic, apply revisions, upgrade to the full Integritas Seal once elite peer review is complete, and approach your target Q1 journal with documented confidence.

Eradicate desk rejections
Papers are structurally sound before they ever hit a submission portal—fewer auto-rejects, less wasted time.
Absolute IP protection
Unpublished ideas stay inside our boundary, then gain cryptographic proof—protected from casual theft and wholesale AI scraping.
Radical speed
What takes Elsevier eight months, ScholarMark compresses into days—integrity checks, Tier-1 review, and your seal in one continuous pipeline.

ScholarMark is built for researchers who want proof, velocity, and control before the submission inbox roulette begins.
