PA Triage EDitor: Human-Led Integrity,
Powered by Choice.

Where Editorial Judgment Begins

Our PA Triage EDitor service manages your initial manuscript checks to ensure every paper meets your standards before it hits an editor’s desk. We handle research integrity, scope alignment, and technical compliance manually and meticulously.

Our Services

Our PA Triage EDitor service, provides you with expert manuscript triage and research integrity assessment, protecting editor and reviewer time.

Following submission checks and before manuscripts reach academic editors or reviewers, our subject specialist editors assess submissions for scope, quality, ethics, and integrity. Early triage filters out unsuitable or high-risk research, preventing unnecessary editorial and peer review effort while strengthening overall quality control.

This service can be delivered entirely through expert human assessment or alongside selected AI integrity tools, with specialist interpretation to ensure reliable, confident triage decisions.

Enhanced by Technology. Only if you choose.

We don’t believe in AI-by-default. We believe in human judgment supported by the best tools available. Choose to integrate our partner tools into our workflow for faster detection of complex issues.

Our specialists interpret the data to eliminate false positives, going beyond the automated alert.

Supporting You Through Change

Implementing any workflow shift requires editorial support. We don’t just provide the service, we manage the change.

How We Do Not Use AI

We do not use AI to:

• Process or upload confidential, unpublished, or sensitive client materials
• Handle personal data without appropriate consent and safeguards
• Generate final client deliverables without human review and quality assurance
• Produce content that infringes copyright, misrepresents authorship, or violates publishing ethics

Data Protection & Security

We use secure, enterprise-grade systems and apply strict controls to ensure that company and client data is not used to train public AI models. Where AI tools are used, we take steps to minimise data retention and sharing, in line with best practice and contractual obligations.

Transparency & Accountability

Our people remain fully accountable for all work delivered. We are committed to transparency around the use of AI-assisted tools and will openly disclose their use in our workflows or outputs in accordance with client expectations, policies, and contractual requirements.

Ongoing Review

We recognise that AI technologies and regulations continue to evolve. Our approach to AI is reviewed regularly to ensure it remains responsible, compliant, and aligned with industry standards.

Ethical Sustainability

Teamwork

Working from home means creating a team founded on trust, support and motivation are even more important. We encourage regular online chats and discussions, share best practices and recognise individual achievements with ‘Feedback Friday’.

Integrity

We are honest, open, ethical and fair. As a result of our strong moral principles, people trust us to adhere to our word.

Staff Development

It is imperative we continue to internally train and educate our team to ensure we are always fully prepared for new and emerging trends. Our team have access to resources via many sources, including direct training with submission platform providers. We are also members of several institutions, including ISMTE, EASE, UKSG and ALPSP.

Inclusivity

We strive to foster a sense of belonging and empowerment within our team and are committed to building an effective PAED family with a variety of alternative home circumstances, backgrounds, skills and views. The more inclusive we are, the better our work will be.

Corporate Social Responsibility

To ensure that we are giving back to our community, our team hand-picks a charity that PA EDitorial then donates a percentage of profits to each year. By working with us, you’re directly contributing to a charitable cause.
