The manuscript development workspace.

Run the manuscript as a project, with every co-author in one workspace. Authorship, key decisions, the journal choice and the path to submission, tracked on the framework Scribendi and Edanz use with authors every day, with Weave AI beside you the whole way.

How it works

From first author to submission.

Set up the project and every stage of the framework becomes work you can assign, track, and decide on together. Click a step to see it.

  1. Create the project and every stage becomes a workstream, from authorship to post-submission, with Weave AI's suggested tasks ready to import.

The framework

Built on a framework that gets papers published.

Nine stages, from data to submission, codified by Scribendi and Edanz across decades of manuscripts. Every Horizon workstream starts here.

Select a stage to see its steps. The two gathering stages run alongside the main sequence and feed Final Review.

2 steps

Author Information Gathering

  1. Author Information Collection

    • Gather detailed contact information for all co-authors, including affiliations and ORCID IDs.
    • Use a standardized form to ensure completion of required fields (e.g., names, initials, research field, ORCID, affiliations, contact information, academic positions, keywords).
    • Optional fields may include mobile number, LinkedIn handle, X handle, profile photo, society memberships, etc.
  2. Managing COI (Conflict of Interest) and Funding Disclosures

    • Collect COI declarations from each author according to ICMJE standards.
    • Securely store COI documentation and provide reminders to keep it updated.
    • Gather details of all funding sources, documenting the role of funders for disclosure in the manuscript and submission system.
    • Confirm additional requirements from funders, such as open-access stipulations.

Weave AI

The intelligence behind your manuscript.

Weave Horizon is the manuscript development workspace for neuroscience teams. Weave AI, trained on neuroscience research, plans the work from the framework, knows everything in the project, and tells you when it's ready to submit.

  1. Plans the work

    Every stage of the framework comes with Weave AI's suggested tasks, ready to import and assign.

  2. Knows the project

    The papers from Stream, the target journal and its requirements from Atlas, your drafts, reviews, and anything you upload: all of it in Weave AI's context.

  3. Reviews before you submit

    Mock peer review, claim checks, and a readiness score against the target journal, all before a referee sees it.

Where the project lives

Collections from Stream and the target journal from Atlas arrive in the Horizon project, and the draft is written in Weave for Word with all of it in view. Same project, same Weave AI, all the way through.

Features

Built for manuscripts.

Decisions, authorship, the target journal, reporting guidelines and the manuscript's own workspace: the parts of manuscript development that no general project tool has.

  • Target journal awareness

    Set the journal once and its requirements stay in view everywhere. A readiness score shows how close you are, and what still stands in the way.

  • Key decision tracker

    Who will be an author, what the story is, which journal to aim for: every open question logged with its rationale, voted on if needed, and closed with an audit trail.

  • Author information management

    Standardized forms collect affiliations, ORCID iDs, conflict-of-interest declarations and funding disclosures, without the email chase.

  • Author contribution tracking

    Every author's contribution recorded against the CRediT taxonomy and the ICMJE criteria, and the author order agreed before the draft.

  • EQUATOR checklists

    The right reporting guideline for the study, ARRIVE, STROBE or PRISMA, open beside the manuscript with its progress tracked to submission.

  • Reviewer response tracking

    Reviewer comments become tasks, each response tracked point by point, and a revision or a new target journal starts from the same project, not a new one.

  • Manuscript workstreams

    Every stage of the framework is a workstream in the side menu, with its own tasks, deadlines and progress. The plan and the platform are one thing.

  • Manuscript workspaces

    One workspace per manuscript, with its own people, permissions and color, and nothing bleeding between projects.

  • Expert manuscript support

    A Scribendi or Edanz editor or subject-matter scientist, one click away at any stage of the manuscript, from a referee-style read to the response to reviewers.

Everything you'd expect from a project tool.

Audit logs, notifications, comments, Gantt charts, calendars, roles and permissions: the essentials of the best project management tools, built in.

  • Audit log

    Every action recorded, so who changed what, and when, is never in question.

  • Notifications and alerts

    Deadlines, changes and mentions, in the app, by email or by SMS.

  • Comments and mentions

    Discuss a task where it lives and pull in the right co-author with a mention.

  • Tasks and dependencies

    Owners, priorities, deadlines and dependencies on every task, so nothing starts before what it depends on is done.

  • Gantt and progress charts

    Milestones and dependencies on a timeline the whole team can read.

  • Calendars

    Synced deadlines and milestones keep every contributor on schedule.

  • Roles and permissions

    Admin, editor, reviewer, contributor and viewer, set per workspace.

  • Project health

    Planned against actual progress, overdue items and risks, on a dashboard you can tailor.

Authorship

Authorship, on the record.

Contributions are recorded against CRediT as the work happens, authorship is tested against the ICMJE criteria, and every author approves the list. Raised early, kept current, and defensible when it counts.

  • Contributor Role Taxonomy (CRediT)
  • International Committee of Medical Journal Editors

A human expert, inside the workspace.

One button in Horizon reaches an editor or subject-matter scientist at Scribendi or Edanz, with two decades of manuscripts in your field behind them. They pick up where Weave AI leaves off.

  • Scientific content development
  • Publication strategy, even after a rejection
  • Editing to your target journal's standard
  • Submission, and the response to reviewers

Katherine holds a PhD in Neuroscience from Michigan State, was a L'Oréal-UNESCO fellow at SickKids, Toronto, and reviews for Nature Medicine. She drafts your response to reviewers with you, separating the comments that need new data from those that need clearer writing.

Security and data

Your research stays yours.

Weave AI reads your manuscript and learns your project to do the work you asked for. That is the only thing that happens to either.

  • Never trained on.

    Your papers are not training data. Nothing you upload teaches the model anything.

  • Never sold or shared.

    Not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to anyone. Your manuscript is not a product we have for sale.

  • Never read by us.

    No one at Weave opens, reviews or samples your manuscript. A human expert reads it only when you ask one to.

  • Encrypted throughout.

    In transit and at rest, from the moment a file reaches us.

  • Yours to take back.

    Delete a manuscript and it is gone. Take your work back out whenever you want.

FAQ

Questions about Weave Horizon

Quick answers to the questions we hear most.

Is Weave Horizon free?

Free in beta, with no credit card. Pricing terms will follow the launch, and beta members will hear them first.

When can I use it?

Horizon arrives in early 2027. Get early access and we will tell you the day it opens; early-access members get in first. The same account works in Weave Stream today, so you do not have to wait to start.

How is Horizon different from a general project-management tool?

It is built around the manuscript itself: a development framework codified by Scribendi and Edanz, the target journal's requirements and a readiness score, key decisions with an audit trail, CRediT and ICMJE contribution tracking, EQUATOR checklists and reviewer response tracking, with Weave AI planning the work and reviewing the draft. A general tool models none of that.

Do I need Stream or Atlas?

No. Horizon works on its own. Connect a Stream collection or set a target journal in Atlas and they join the project's context, and the same account works across Weave.

Will my co-authors need to learn a new tool?

No. Co-authors join the workspace with the role you give them, see only what that role allows, and hear about tasks, mentions and deadlines by email. There is nothing to install.

Is my manuscript used to train Weave AI?

No. Weave AI reads your project to do the work you ask for, and for nothing else. No one at Weave reads it unless you ask an expert to.

Can I get expert support inside Horizon?

Yes. One button reaches an editor or subject-matter scientist at Scribendi or Edanz, for content development, publication strategy, editing, submission and the response to reviewers.
