You've been doing this for free.
Every review you've ever written was skilled labor: priced at zero, published nowhere, credited to nobody. The journals got the value and you got a thank-you email. Here the same work pays cash and carries your name. You review papers in your field, on your schedule, and every passing review becomes a line in a scored, verifiable, citable record that belongs to you.
What reviewers get
Cash for each completed review that passes scoring (authors' fees fund it; over $100 of each $149 goes to review labor), or credit toward review of your own work instead. On top of either: a public, signed review portfolio. Each public review gets its own DOI, a permanent citable record you can point to in applications and build a reputation on. Almost nowhere else does reviewing leave a trace you own. Private assignments skip the public record, so they pay extra cash in its place.
Admission is selective
We admit reviewers who can show their work. Three gates:
- An ORCID iD.
- At least one published work we can verify against the public record.
- A passing score on a qualifying review: you review a paper with documented flaws, and we score you on what you catch. Passing is the credential, and it's earned, not bought.
Reviews are scored on rubric compliance and substance, and a fabricated citation in a review is an instant fail with a permanent mark. The bar is real because the record is only worth what the scoring makes it worth.
The straight answer about volume
We're new. Early reviewers will see few assignments until authors show up in numbers, and we're not going to pretend otherwise. The waitlist costs nothing, qualification carries over, and being early means your record starts at review one.
