Pricing

Published in full. Nothing to negotiate.

Experts and reviewers never pay. Publishers pay per page reviewed. Authors pay the fee their reviewer sets, shown before they commit.

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.

Example: a $420 reviewIllustrative
Step 1Author pays $420when a reviewer accepts; the fee is frozen
Step 2CitePep holds ituntil the report is delivered
Step 3Reviewer is paidon delivery, whatever the verdict

CitePep’s service fee covers matching, conflict checks and secure payment. Reviewers see what they will receive before they accept. Not delivered on time? The author is refunded in full.

Pricing questions

The short answers

The short answer first, then the detail.

Free

What do journals pay?Searching the reviewer pool is free for verified journals

Honoraria are agreed with the reviewer. Automatic

How do refunds work?

If no reviewer accepts a paper within 10 days, or a review isn’t delivered, you are refunded in full. Unused pack pages stay valid for 12 months. One URL

What counts as one page?One web address, up to 1,500 words

A longer page is quoted individually, so you always know the price first. Yes

Do you invoice companies?Invoices show your company name and VAT number

Pay by card or bank transfer; agencies can bill per client. Cheaper

What about re-reviews?

When a rule or guideline changes, re-checking only the affected figures costs less than a new review.
