Research publishing is broken.
Nobody will review your paper.
Journals charge thousands and pay reviewers zero.
We connect the two, and the problem cancels itself.

No DOI yet? A free one takes about 10 minutes. Here's how.
Here to review, not be reviewed? Get paid for it instead.
What you get
Real peer review, on the record
Two researchers who've published in your field read your paper. They work through a fixed checklist: say back what your paper claims, name the assumption it depends on, tie every comment to a specific line, and check that your references are real. Then they sign their names to it.
When it's done, here's what you're holding:
- Two review DOIs. Each passing public review is deposited on Zenodo (run by CERN) as its own citable object with its own DOI, linked to your paper's. It resolves for anyone, forever, whether or not we're still around.
- Proof nobody takes on faith. A skeptical editor or committee doesn't ask you for a certificate. They resolve the DOIs and read the signed reviews themselves. A journal can't offer that even if it wanted to; its reviews are anonymous, private, and gone.
- Ammunition for your next submission. Cite the review DOIs in your cover letter. The reviewers' names, their ORCID iDs, and every anchored comment travel with your paper from now on.
- A mark that proves itself. A verification badge with a QR code, for your site, your poster, your preprint page. It scans straight to the signed reviews. Not a gold star: a pointer to evidence anyone can read in thirty seconds.
The record sticks whether the reviews are good or bad. That's what makes a good one worth something.
The record format. Reviews are scored against this rubric before they count toward your two.
Run the comparison
Why not just submit to a journal?
Because for most people reading this page, the journal route is a locked door with a year-long line in front of it. And behind that door, the economics are upside down: authors get charged thousands while the people doing the actual review work exactly zero. Side by side:
To be clear about what we are not: we don't publish your paper and we don't promise a journal will. A journal offers a venue. We connect you with professionals in your field who review your work on the record, and who get paid for it.
The empty seat
You won't find this anywhere else
We looked hard, because if someone already offered it we'd have used them instead of building this.
An author with money and no institution has had no way to commission review, and a reviewer with expertise has had no way to get paid for it. We introduce them. That's the whole idea.
The clock
Ten days, start to record
No fine print
What this isn't
Straight answers, because this audience checks.
Not an endorsement
What you get is real peer review: qualified people reading your work and saying what they think, on the record, paid for doing it honestly. Not a stamp of approval. If your paper has problems, the reviews will say so in public, under real names. A clean record means something precisely because a bad one is possible.
Not a journal
We don't publish your paper and we don't promise anyone else will. What we leave behind is a signed public record any editor can check for themselves.
Not blind
Reviewers sign. Their review history is public and scored, so reputation does the work anonymity was supposed to do, without the drive-by incentives.
Two signed, scored reviews in 10 days. No submission fee, no per-page charges, no membership. Most of the money goes to the reviewers, which is why they're qualified and why they show up.
Want the reviews kept off the public record? A private order is $174: the extra $25 goes to the reviewers, who give up the public credit. You pick at checkout, before any review exists.
Refunds are simple. Out of scope: full refund. Fewer than two delivered reviews by day 10: full refund. Refunds go back to the card that paid, and we don't argue about them.
Reviewers: this is paid work now
Cash per review, or credit toward review of your own paper. Every passing review is a signed, citable line in a scored public record under your name. Admission is selective and earned.
