The best way to provide scientific peer review

both for journals & research funding agencies


Peer review is the mainstream of scientific progress and is perceived as a method for establishing quality or scholarly legitimacy for research. However, the current peer review system suffers from several flaws.


Smartpeerreviewers is an initiative promoted by the scientific community whose main objective is to dignify the work of reviewers. We are a platform that brings together reviewers who would offer their services under new standards.


Smartpeerreviewers aims to provide independent peer review and evaluation services for scientific papers and research grants.


Flaws of the current peer review system

Time consuming

The mean time to review an article is 2 hours

Abscence of adequate reward

Despite the increasing growth of open access journals, peer review is still not paid

Difficulty to find top quality & well-matched reviewers

Journal editors and research funding agencies suffer more and more from finding reviewers

Biased and inconsistent reviews

Quality of reviews is extremely variable

Slow process

Difficulties in finding adequate reviewers slow down both the publication and the research grant approval processes

Need for new standards

There is a call in the scientific community for a change

What does smartpeerreviewers offer?

Large database of well-annotated reviewers

With our platform of well annotated and scored reviewers, we offer expedite finding of top quality & well-matched reviewers

High-quality and unbiased reviews

Payment for review once & for all

In recent years we have witnessed a spectacular increase in the number of medical journals, many in Open Access. These journals request high fees for publications. In this business, reviewers do not receive any  payment.

Easiness and speed up process for journals & research funding agencies

Peer review activities are part of our routine commitments and compete with other responsibilities. Payment for review will formalize this function and let editors and publishers insist on tight timelines
