The brief that makes your paper work — before you write it.
Most writing time is wasted on structural revisions that a good brief prevents entirely.
They stopped guessing. So can you.
I publish very often and across different journals at once, and every single time I had to study each journal's author guidelines separately: Highlights format, abstract structure, keyword limits. That alone took a day or two before I'd even started writing the actual paper.
Article Brief Generator produced a brief built specifically for my target journal: word count for every section, exactly what to write in each one, and which sources to pull. What I liked most was that the brief pulled the journal's current Scopus data and APC. This wasn't a generic 'how to write a paper' template, it genuinely matched the requirements of that specific journal.
I used the brief for 2 papers over 3 months and saved roughly 3 weeks at the preparation stage alone, before I'd even started writing. 🕒
The biggest problem with journal-specific requirements is that they're scattered across different pages of the publisher's site, often outdated, and sometimes contradict each other between 'For Authors' and 'Submission Guidelines'. Figuring out the APC, citation format, and article structure all at once is basically a job in itself.
Arxivia's brief pulled everything into one document: the exact APC for my target journal, the required number of sources, the article types the journal accepts most readily, and a structure I could write directly into instead of adapting a finished draft afterward. I especially liked the checklist at the end, built specifically for that journal, which I used to verify the paper point by point before submission.
It saved me several weeks of work, and more importantly, I submitted knowing the format was right the first time, not after getting comments back from the editor. ✅
As Head of Department, I don't just prepare my own papers, I frequently co-author with colleagues from other countries, and each co-author is used to the format of their own usual journal. There was always a moment of tension before submission: had we all actually followed the requirements of this specific journal, or had someone written their section for a different standard out of habit.
Article Brief Generator gave me something concrete I could simply forward to my co-authors: how many sources the journal required, how recent those sources needed to be, the word count, how the methodology section should be structured, and more. It settled the 'what's actually correct' debate before it even started.
I used the brief for 3 co-authored papers, and for the first time we got zero formatting comments from the editor, something that had happened almost every time before when working with multiple authors. 🤝
