Why is this benfical to journals and editors?
Securing peer reviewers is often a time-consuming, administrative task that takes time away from more valuable editorial work. By outsourcing this process to BioShorts, journals can free up editorial time and focus on higher-value tasks that directly impact the quality of the publication.
At BioShorts, we can handle the logistics of contacting and securing your peer reviewers, eliminating the back-and-forth and follow-up required in the traditional process.
We are confident we can cut down the time it currently takes your journal to attain reviewers.
Our peer-review sourcing service is designed to be scalable, helping journals of all sizes—whether new or established—secure the right reviewers without the hassle.
The Process
Expertly Matched Reviewers: We identify and secure unique, qualified reviewers for each article by conducting key-term searches in literature databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar, as well as utilising professional networks like ResearchGate. We ensure that all reviewers meet a minimum of PhD or MD-level qualifications, with at least five publications in the field and two within the last 12 months. We can also tailor this selection process to suit the specific requirements of your journal.
Impartiality: We take great care to avoid bias in the review process. All reviewers are invited subject to conflict of interest checks, ensuring there is no collaboration or connection between the reviewers and the authors. We also ensure that author identities remain blind to reviewers, upholding the integrity of the peer review process.
Customisable: Whether your journal needs one-time assistance or ongoing support, we adapt our sourcing approach to fit your editorial needs and preferences.
Our Team
At BioShorts, we have a team of science specialists across multiple disciplines, qualified to a minimum of Master’s degree level, all expertly trained and possessing extensive experience regarding sourcing and securing reviewers, as well as the publication process as a whole.
