Publisher partnerships
We make partnerships with publishers
Our goal is to create a single point of peer review in the publishing process. We publish peer review reports that authors can send to partner journals alongside their verified preprint. This simplifies the publishing process for editors and researchers.
Editors don’t need to organise peer review
Researchers don’t need to repeat peer review at successive journrals
Editors of partner journals consider PeerRef’s peer review reports. Editors can:
Accept and publish without further peer review
Consider the peer review reports and request revisions or further peer review
