Attribution

A visible record of who checked a page

Publishers add a short attribution block to any page. It names who wrote, reviewed, edited or corrected it, and each name leads to a public profile with a verifiable history of accepted work. Experts who review and correct other people's pages receive that credit under their own name, on a profile they keep as they move between institutions and publishers.

Peer review before submission

An independent expert reads your manuscript before you submit it

A verified expert in your field reads your manuscript the way a journal’s reviewer would, and tells you (point by point, quoting your text) what is likely to be questioned and how serious each point is. You get this before any journal sees the paper, so you can fix problems first. Reviewers are matched on field and language from outside your institution, and you see who matches before you pay.

CitePep is an independent review service A review is commissioned by the author, delivered to the author, and shared with a journal only if the author attaches it.

How it works

Two services, one rule: everything on the record has been checked and approved

For web pages, the publisher approves each contribution before it appears. For manuscripts, the review goes privately to the author; the only public fact is that the reviewer completed it, and whether on time.

  1. Step 1

    Create your profile

    List the topics you know. Your public profile is live immediately.

  2. Step 2

    Review, correct or verify a page

    Flag wrong information, propose the exact fix, or confirm what is right. Any page on the web.

  3. Step 3

    A publisher accepts it

    The editor who controls the page decides. Only accepted work counts and appears on the record.

  4. Step 4

    Credit and reputation update

    The contribution is attributed to you, and your scores and topic authority recalculate.

OutcomeYour name on the recordThe page shows your contribution; your profile gains accepted work and topic authority you carry to every publisher.

Questions people ask first

The short answer first, then the detail.
Is CitePep a journal?No

For papers, we connect authors with independent experts who give private feedback before submission. Publishing decisions stay with journals.

How do you know an expert is real?

Every contributor and reviewer is verified before their work can count, by ORCID, an institutional email, or an identity check. Their profile shows which checks they passed.

Does CitePep change my page?Never

Contributors propose changes; the publisher reads each one and decides. You edit your own page. CitePep only records what you approved.

Can someone buy a good reputation?No

Scores come only from work a publisher accepted. Scores reflect work alone, and reviewers are paid the same whatever their review concludes.

Who can see a manuscript review?Only the author

It stays with you, and reaches a journal only if you attach it. The reviewer’s profile shows how many reviews they completed and how often on time.

What does it cost?Experts join free

Publishers pay per reviewed page, from $49. Authors pay the reviewer’s own fee, usually $300–600, only after a reviewer accepts.

The profile

A track record you can check.

A CitePep profile is built from accepted work. It shows what a person has actually contributed, where it was accepted, which topics they have earned authority in, and, for reviewers, how reliably they deliver.
