In recent years we have witnessed a spectacular increase in the number of medical journals, many of them in Open Access. These journals have become a big business where scientists pay to publish their work. In this lucrative business, journals use the good faith of scientists to peer review the manuscripts without receiving any financial compensation.
Smartpeerreviewers is an initiative promoted by the scientific community whose main objective is to dignify the work of reviewers.
We are scientists and reviewers aimed to establish a win-win link between journals and reviewers.
