When I write a manuscript and don’t know which journal I should choose, I always check what JANE (Journal Author Name Estimator) has to say. Now I also gave Pre-Grade Your Paper a try:

“PaperRater.com combines the power of natural language processing (NLP), artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, information retrieval (IR), computational linguistics, data mining, and advanced pattern matching (APM). We offer the most powerful writing tool available on the internet today.”
A long list of buzzwords followed by a totally empty claim. Not exactly the kind of marketing strategy to gain my trust. After all, you hand your unpublished results to them.
By the way, they do it right. They suddenly gain access to a whole lot of unpublished research… a brilliant idea.
(Note 1. Someone really should try to feed them something generated by SCIgen.)
(Note 2. “The most powerful writing tool avaliable on the internet today” is GVim.)
Nice catch, Attish, thanks for the link!
Yesterday I read their terms and conditions and yes, you’re right. I updated the entry with this information.
