EDITORIAL REVIEW · Workflow idea

Catch gaps in a submission checklist without treating a review score as an approval decision.

For a team or individual with an authorized purpose, prepare a criteria-based checklist and suggested corrections for a workflow author. Guidelines can change and an automated review may miss rights, security, or quality issues. Confirm the current official criteria, review every flagged item, protect unpublished work, and require the author to approve revisions; only the responsible reviewers can decide whether a submission is accepted. Explain personal-data use and retention, obtain required consent, respect source and reuse rights, verify important details, and keep consequential or external actions under human approval.
