What every paid package includes

  1. 01
    Package checks

    Validate XML structure, linked assets, identifiers, cross-references, table structure, and selected journal rules together.

  2. 02
    Complete evidence

    See every finding and retain deterministic JSON results and release ZIPs for handoff.

  3. 03
    Change control

    Compare a candidate XML file with its earlier version so a correction does not hide a regression.

  4. 04
    Automation

    Use the included API key to move checks earlier in your production workflow.

When the free diagnostic is enough

Use the free option if you have one representative package and only need to learn whether the gate adds useful signal. Buy a $12.99 Package Pass for an urgent complete result. Choose Team Credits when package QA is recurring, and API Credits when the check belongs inside an automated production workflow.

What this price does not include

JATS Verify checks existing JATS XML. It does not convert Word or PDF files, rewrite the XML for you, replace editorial review, or guarantee acceptance by a journal, archive, or index.

Need recurring volume?

Choose the pack closest to your annual volume. For more than 1,000 packages, several journals, or custom rollout support, email [email protected] with package volume, journal count, and integration needs.

Prove value first

No account, card, or sales call. The diagnostic shows whether JATS Verify catches something worth fixing.
