How RevisePilot uses your selection
- Clarifies and consistently presents information already in the manuscript.
- Preserves study meaning and does not create evidence.
- Flags apparently missing or unclear reporting details when the selected service produces editorial feedback.

Frequently asked questions
Does selecting PRISMA guarantee compliance?
No. It guides editing and feedback but cannot supply absent study information or replace a completed official checklist.
Can I combine a reporting guideline with APA or a journal style?
Yes. Reporting guidelines address study reporting; publication styles address presentation. A target journal takes precedence for presentation conventions.
