Before you start

What to have ready

Describing the paper takes about five minutes. You upload the manuscript only after a reviewer accepts.

The abstract

As you plan to submit it. Reviewers decide whether to accept from this alone.

Required
Field and review language

The field decides who is matched; the language is the one the review is written in.

Required
Co-authors and institution

Used only to match reviewers free of conflict. Private to you.

Required
The full manuscript

PDF or Word, with figures and tables. Shared only with the reviewer who accepts.

After acceptance
Target journal

Helps the reviewer calibrate to the journal’s expectations.

Optional
Earlier referee reports

If the paper was rejected before, these show the reviewer what was already raised.

Optional

Questions authors ask

The short answer first, then the detail.
Privacy
Who sees my manuscript?Only the one reviewer who accepts

Invited reviewers see the abstract only. Once one accepts, only they receive the full manuscript. It stays between you and your reviewer.

What happens to my files afterwards?They are deleted on request, or after 12 months

You can delete your manuscript and report at any time from your account. The reviewer loses access 30 days after delivery.

The review
Will this get my paper accepted?It improves your odds

The review shows you what a journal’s reviewers are likely to raise, so you can fix it first. The journal’s decision is still the journal’s.

What if I disagree with a finding?That’s fine: it’s advice

You decide what to change. You can use your one clarifying question to understand a finding better before you decide.

What if every reviewer is busy?You are refunded in full

If the 10 days pass without an acceptance, your payment is released. You can widen the match, for example, add a related field, and try again.
