The Promise of Universal Peer Review

Portable peer review has been an elusive goal in academic publishing, with various pilots and tests failing to gain traction. However, PeerReviewMe.org believes that a structured and professionalized model can make portable peer review a reality.
 
By completing all review steps, including crowd review, pre-review, traditional peer review, image forensics, and paid error spotting, a paper, or a publisher, can earn a portable peer review certification.
 
This certification allows the transfer of peer review feedback between publishers, saving time and resources and revolutionizing scholarly publishing by allowing researchers to seamlessly transfer peer review feedback between journals.


 
This integration not only streamlines the publication process but also incentivizes reviewer engagement and excellence.
 
Researchers collectively spending millions of hours on peer review each year could exchange credits for peer review services across multiple journals, reducing duplication of effort.
 
Moreover, by recognizing and rewarding reviewers for their contributions, portable peer review with PeerReviewMe.org promotes collaboration, accelerates knowledge dissemination, and leads to substantial cost savings for both researchers and publishers.
