Peer Reviewer (Sciences)

At ResearchHub, our mission is to accelerate the pace of scientific research, and we believe financially incentivizing open peer reviews with ResearchCoin (RSC) is a key strategy to achieve this. We have established a paid peer review marketplace to evaluate the impact of incentives on rigor and time to completion compared to volunteer reviewership. Our peer reviews are open and transparent, fostering collaboration and useful feedback among peers. By making peer reviews of exciting new preprints accessible to everyone, we aim to transform the traditionally private process into one that is inclusive and collaborative.

Through ResearchHub, anyone can contribute, search, and benefit from these reviews. For each high-quality peer review completed and approved by our editorial team, you will receive a financial bonus in RSC, valued at $150, which you can easily convert to cash. By joining ResearchHub, you will become a member of our peer reviewer community, which has collectively achieved the following milestones:

• Total number of peer reviews complete on ResearchHub to date: 9000+
• Peer reviews performed on ResearchHub last week: ~250 per week
• Mean time to peer review: 10 days

We are currently looking for peer reviewers in the natural sciences and STEM fields.
