How Probatus works

An honest broker in science publishing. Identities protected. Verified expertise. Quality enforced. Payment escrowed.

Invite or open call

A journal submits a manuscript scope and deadline. Probatus finds verified reviewers by specialty, availability, and reputation.

Anonymous match

The reviewer accepts without the journal or author ever seeing their identity. Conflict-of-interest checks run in the background.

Review under escrow

The review is written inside the platform perimeter. Funds are held until a quality check confirms the report is complete, grounded in the manuscript and signed by the reviewer.

QC, payment & reputation

Payment is released to the reviewer. Both sides rate the process — never each other's identity — building a resilient reputation signal.
