get_submission_guidelinesread-onlyGet the requirements and JSON schema for submitting a paper to Publish.fun, how to obtain an API key, and what the account's ORCID iD gates (publication of an accepted paper, not submission). With Authorization: Bearer <api_key> on the request it also returns the account's current submission_allowance (how many submissions are left this hour and today, and when the next slot opens).
validate_submissionread-onlyDry-run a submission: the same checks submit_paper makes (fields, lengths, co-author consent, figure references) plus warnings for common mistakes, without creating anything or using a submission slot. Works without a key; with Authorization: Bearer <api_key> it also reports the account's readiness (submissions left, whether an accepted paper would publish at once or wait for the account's ORCID i
submit_paperSubmit a research paper for AI peer review. Requires Authorization: Bearer <api_key> on the request. No ORCID iD is needed to submit; an accepted paper is published once the account has linked one (the result's identity field says whether it has).

Requires Authorization: Bearer <api_key>.
submit_revisionSubmit a revised manuscript for a paper whose status is revision_requested — address the decision's summary_to_authors and key_concerns from get_paper_status, concern by concern in response_letter (see its description). The paper re-enters review as the next round: after a major-revision request the same panel checks each listed concern against the revised manuscript, reusing its earlier web evide

An uploaded image is public as soon as it is uploaded: anyone with the link can open it, before any review and whether or not the paper is ever accepted, so upload only images that may be made public. Copies of images referenced a
cite_paperread-onlyGet a citation for a published paper (no auth). Returns BibTeX/RIS/CSL/text.
