How it works

Four steps. Your manuscript is checked in about ninety seconds, and the editor decides.

1

Create your account

Your name and email, and nothing else. It takes a moment.

2

Submit your manuscript

Title, article type, corresponding author and co-authors. Upload a Word file or paste the text.

3

Pay ₦3,300

Card, bank transfer or USSD. The check begins as soon as payment clears.

4

The editor decides

You and the editorial office both see the report. VERIFY advises; the journal makes every decision.

Revisions and co-authors are not treated as copying

The problem most originality tools have: your round-two revision matches your own round-one submission almost word for word, and comes back flagged as plagiarism — especially when a co-author sends it rather than the corresponding author.

Your earlier rounds are recognised

VERIFY identifies the manuscript, not just who sent it. Earlier versions of the same paper are set aside instead of counted against you.

Co-authors count as authors

List your co-authors when you submit. A revision sent by any of them is recognised as the same manuscript.

Nothing is hidden from the editor

Every set-aside match is shown on the report with its overlap and the reason. Your editor sees what was found as well as what was counted.

Your manuscript stays confidential

An unpublished manuscript is your intellectual property. It is matched against — which is what protects you if someone submits your work elsewhere — but it is never quoted. If another paper overlaps with yours, that author is told a match exists and nothing more: no title, no author, no text. Your work is never published by us and you can delete it at any time.
