"Screening" refers to a process by which an input—such as a manuscript, document, application, proposal, or the like—is evaluated against one or more criteria to determine whether the input satisfies, violates, deviates from, or otherwise relates to defined thresholds, standards, or expectations. Synonyms for “screening” may include evaluating, assessing, reviewing, examining, filtering, or the like. Screening may be performed by a human, a machine, or a combination thereof, and may involve qualitative, quantitative, heuristic, statistical, rule-based, or machine learning-based processes, or the like.
In the context of manuscript review workflows, screening may include the automated or semi-automated analysis of submitted manuscripts to determine suitability for publication, adherence to publisher guidelines, quality of writing, originality of content, relevance of citations, or other editorial standards. Screening may result in a screening decision (e.g., reject or not reject), generation of one or more editorial comments, routing of the manuscript for further human review, and/or the like.
