For authors and reviewers

Where a paper-review fee goes

The reviewer sets the fee. It’s frozen when they accept and paid when the review is delivered: the same whatever they conclude.

Late delivery?The author is refunded in full, automatically.

Need it in 72 hours?

Choose the rapid tier when you describe your paper. Only reviewers who opted in to 72-hour reviews are matched, and the fee is 1.5× their standard fee: a $420 review becomes $630. If it’s late, you get the difference back.
