Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the audit process.
Will ARGUS-Thesis guarantee my paper gets accepted?
No. ARGUS-Thesis validates your methodology and logical consistency. It does NOT guarantee acceptance—journals care about novelty, impact, and empirical results too.
However, ARGUS-Thesis DOES help you:
- Identify fatal logical flaws before peer review
- Strengthen weak premises that reviewers would attack
- Clarify claims so reviewers can't misinterpret
"ARGUS-Thesis can't make your paper innovative. But it CAN prevent rejection due to careless mistakes or logical inconsistency."
What if ARGUS-Thesis doesn't find any problems?
That's good news. It means:
- Your logical consistency is strong
- Your claims are well-bounded and defensible
- You're ready for peer review
ARGUS-Thesis isn't a rubber stamp. If it passes your work, you can defend every claim.
What if ARGUS-Thesis REJECTS all my claims?
This happens occasionally with overstated claims. It's actually valuable—better to know before journal submission.
Typical Turnaround Path:
- Run audit, get REJECTED verdicts
- Revise claims (narrow scope, add evidence)
- Re-run ARGUS-Thesis, get ACCEPTED or REVISE
- Iterate until confidence is high
How many times should I run ARGUS-Thesis on my paper?
We recommend a 3-stage process:
- First draft: 1-2 audits (find major issues)
- After revisions: 1 audit (validate improvements)
- Pre-submission: 1 final audit (confidence check)
