Use when preparing a paper for submission to a specific journal, checking formatting requirements, parsing instructions for authors, building a submission checklist, or adapting a paper to a journal template. Fetches the journal's official guidelines via web and produces a verifiable checklist.

When to use

• "Format the paper for journal X"
• "What does journal Y require for submission?"
• "Build a submission checklist"
• "Adapt the paper to this template"
• Final formatting pass before submission
• Responding to a revision request with changed formatting requirements

When not to use

• using guidelines from memory or cached knowledge
• skipping the replication package requirement when the journal requires it
• ignoring blinding rules
• formatting close enough instead of matching requirements exactly
• missing the cover letter when required
• submitting in the wrong file format
