How Probatus works

A neutral double-blind broker. Identity protected. Quality enforced. Payment escrowed.

01

Invite or open call

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

02

Anonymous match

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

03

Review under escrow

The review is delivered through the platform. Funds are held until a lightweight quality check confirms completeness and human origin.

04

QC, payment & reputation

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