PeerRef

Our vision is for all researchers to access a single point of peer review. Enabling all research to be trusted and accelerated.

PeerRef is a journal-independent open peer review platform. It organises peer review of preprints and publishes peer review reports. This approach can accelerate research by creating a single point of peer review in the publication process. The platform also aims to expand research. It does this by reducing the barriers to accessing peer review and asks referees to focus on academic rigour, rather than perceived impact.

Referees are responsible for making the decisions on manuscripts. The author has multiple options following peer review:

- Share the refereed manuscript with the community
- Submit the manuscript to a partner journal
- Submit the manuscript and consolidated review reports to a non-partner journal
