The calendar resets in January. The backlog doesn’t.

As submissions surge and reviewer availability tightens, journals need peer review support that keeps decisions moving without compromising rigor.

Our Peer Review Services offer:

- A global network of qualified subject-matter experts

- 7-day turnaround for peer review

- Consistent, journal-aligned quality without sacrificing editorial control

When it comes to peer review, why should journals have to choose between speed and quality? With subject-area specialists driving every review, our completely human-led process ensures both speed and integrity.

Comment 'interested' to get in touch with Chris Leonard to learn more.

Why do researchers commit misconduct, despite knowing the stakes?

It’s easy to blame individuals. Harder (and far more important) to examine the systems they work within.

In her conversation with Research Information, Shilpi Mehra unpacks how publish-or-perish culture and the way success is measured in academia can influence the choices researchers make and why misconduct is often the result of pressure, not intent.

A thoughtful read for anyone invested in research integrity, editorial responsibility and building systems that value rigor and responsibility over speed.
