The Problem

Peer review depends on qualified experts but reviewer recruitment is strained

Editors need dependable ways to identify relevant expertise. Researchers need review work to be treated as serious academic contribution rather than invisible service.

Qualified reviewer discovery

Journals need better ways to identify qualified reviewers across disciplines and regions

Increasing review times

Review delays slow editorial decisions and create friction for authors, journals, and editors

Invisible reviewer labor

Review work remains essential to publishing but rarely becomes visible professional reputation

Core Principle

Peer review is work

Peer review is professional work. ScholaRevs is building infrastructure that treats it as such.

Every high-quality peer review requires scientific expertise, critical thinking, responsibility, and a significant investment of time. Yet, despite being one of the foundations of scientific publishing, peer review is still performed without compensation in most cases. ScholaRevs believes this model is no longer sustainable.

Our long-term direction is to help make reviewer contribution more visible, better organized, and more professionally valued.

Today, the public website supports reviewer recruitment and the application process; the authenticated portal supports invited reviewer profile work.
