High-quality peer review
All the benefits of traditional peer review – detailed, thoughtful, constructive improvement of your work – updated for the 21st century
We focus on delivering a constructive peer review process based on methodological soundness rather than subjective considerations of impact or novelty.
Most journals use peer review software that slows and frustrates their editors and reviewers.
Our submission system is built from the ground up to make submitting, reviewing and editing as easy – and dare we say enjoyable – as possible. This in turn delivers more in-depth reviews, faster, and more often.
