Bring submissions in
Screen incoming work through a familiar route.
A clearer first read for journal teams
Screen out slop.
Make time for
worthwhile work.
Researchers, editors, teachers and reviewers can spend hours sifting through low-effort work and AI slop. Alluvial screens early, so teams move faster to thoughtful decisions and reviewers spend their time on work worth reviewing.
Human judgement stays at the centre.

A quieter moment to think
01Clarity before review
More space for editorial thought
Less time sifting.
More time for the work.
Alluvial screens for signs of low-effort work so editorial teams can process submissions faster, decide what needs attention sooner, and offer reviewers a more considered experience.
Alluvial is neutral on AI. It is not an AI detector and does not judge quality or suitability. A signal is a prompt to look; the editor decides whether work should move forward.
A useful signal, in context
Start with a
clearer picture.
Findings show supporting examples from a submission and point to their locations. That helps editors quickly reject the worst submissions and give worthwhile work their attention. The labels below are illustrative; no manuscript excerpts are shown.

Manuscripts are not
used to train AI.
Alluvial does not train AI models on submitted manuscripts. Screening signals do not decide quality or suitability, reject work, or select what deserves a review. People make those decisions.
