Writefull pilot by Hindawi: authors revise their English at submission
Open Access publisher Hindawi recently started a pilot with Writefull. Writefull is a tool that helps researchers with their writing. It offers a text editor that checks researchers’ texts for language correctness using Deep Learning algorithms.
Writefull lets authors revise their manuscript right before they submit it to one of Hindawi’s journals. Editors often have to reject manuscripts because of poor English - sometimes after a time-consuming peer review process. Letting authors revise the language of their manuscripts at pre- submission can save time and increase acceptance rates.
Hindawi is the first publisher to integrate Writefull into their submission page. Authors who are about to submit a manuscript get to see a pop-up inviting them to use Writefull to revise their text. If authors accept and upload their document, Writefull shows them their text with language suggestions in-line, and an overview at the top. The report is interactive: authors can click suggestions to accept them. After this, they can download their revised document, and continue to the journal to submit.
Hindawi and Writefull started the pilot early December last year - with authors submitting from six countries, and to a select number of journals. Over a month into the pilot, both Hindawi and Writefull see positive results.
• The majority of authors using Writefull come from China.
• Writefull offers an average of nearly 100 suggestions per manuscript.
• On average, authors accept 70% of all recommended changes, with half accepting more than 87% of the corrections.
Writefull received the Catalyst Grant in 2016 and joined the Digital Science portfolio in 2018. The founders are Juan Castro (PhD in AI) and Alberto Villar (MSc in Machine Learning).
