Peer Review, an independent assessment of a research paper by experts in the field, is critical for evaluating a manuscript’s quality and suitability for publication. However, editorial departments often face challenges during the process. They are tasked to churn out high-quality reviews in short time frames and with limited budgets, thus hindering a seamless author/reviewer experience. Straive can help manage the peer review process by augmenting or owning the publishers editorial team.
