The idea
Select a target journal from a database and Folio reformats your document to match its submission requirements — margins, font, citation style, abstract length, section structure, and any other journal-specific guidelines. Submit to a different journal? Select the new target and reformat in one click.
Why it matters
Reformatting a paper for a different journal is tedious, error-prone, and always urgent. You've just received a rejection and you need to resubmit elsewhere by next week. The content is ready — but the margins are wrong, the citation style needs to change, the abstract is 50 words over the limit, and the sections need reordering. It's exactly the kind of mechanical work that shouldn't require human attention. Every hour spent reformatting is an hour not spent on research.
Where we are
Partly here. When you're targeting a specific journal, Folio can already suggest and apply that journal's citation style to your draft, and a submission checklist helps you get the manuscript export-ready (PDF, DOCX, BibTeX, RIS). What's still on the roadmap is full journal-specific template formatting — the section order, layout, and house requirements — which means building and maintaining a database of each journal's rules. That's the significant, ongoing piece.
