About Us
Managing peer review can quickly overwhelm even the most experienced editorial teams — rising submission volumes, growing backlogs, and the administrative burden of coordinating reviewers, editors, and authors all pull attention away from the editorial judgement that actually protects a journal’s standards.
With over 100 years of combined industry experience, our team brings the knowledge and know-how to take that burden on. We specialise in peer review and editorial management, supporting all contributors and their editorial boards — and we’re particularly known for our ability to nurture struggling or backlogged journals back to health.
