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.
