Signals is trusted by
Manuscript Evaluation Engine
Manuscript evaluations are powered by our proprietary data platform, the Signals Data Graph (SDG).
See your manuscripts within the global published record
The SDG is a networked combination of curated public and proprietary data that gives a unique understanding of the scholarly record.
- Integrity evaluations of over 2 million published articles, delivered in publisher reports
- Thousands of manuscripts evaluated every week
- Full publication history and evaluations for a journal or institution, in seconds
SDG comprises:
Your evaluations get smarter with every new manuscript
Each manuscript is connected to a publisher’s private version of the SDG. Knowledge gained through each evaluation feeds back in, so each new manuscript is analysed with everything learned before.

Secure, rapid, and low noise
Manuscripts are analysed in a secure environment: content is never used to train third-party AI, and is never shared with other customers. Contextual analysis completes within minutes, and Signals surfaces only the checks that matter for that manuscript — so editors see signals, not noise.

Signals is integrated with the major editorial management systems and has bespoke integrations with publishers’ home-built editorial management and screening systems.
