The peer review process is indisputably the soul of scientific publishing as it ensures the scientific validity of scholarly publications. It begins with finding a suitable reviewer for the manuscript. Finding the right reviewers is one of the most challenging tasks, and having a dedicated team of experts to identify ideal reviewers can be a key enabler in the process.
Straive, a leading content solutions provider for STM publishers, built its Review Finder application to help find qualified reviewers by searching multiple citation databases.
