The American Accounting Association, in partnership with CACTUS, offers a machine learning, pre-submission technical check to ensure your manuscript is ready for submission. Paperpal Preflight provides feedback and suggestions for improvements of your manuscript but does not guarantee acceptance for peer review or publication. Some of the checks performed may only apply to specific article types; please check the journal's editorial policy or the AAA’s complete style guide for further detail. Should your manuscript be accepted, journal editors may still require significant changes based on journal and style guidelines.
