How it works
The same word rules are used by the journal's own manuscript readiness check, so the result here predicts what that check will show.
The text is checked in your browser and is never sent to us.
These tools support writing; they do not replace the Instructions for Authors or the advice of your co-authors and institution.
Questions
Does the tool say my case report can be published?
No. It only shows whether words typical of each CARE item are in the text. Editors and reviewers decide.
Why can an item be "not found" although I wrote it?
The tool looks for common words. If you used other words, the item may still be reported; check by hand.
