Empowering Peer-to-Peer Scientific Dialogue
Publishing in scientific journals is a significant benchmark for scientists, reflecting the rigor and credibility of their work. However, the current system is not always fair or transparent. AJustPeer was created to make a difference.

Bridging the Knowledge Gap
Understanding the inner workings of the review process is challenging. Most of what we know comes from the limited, descriptive details journals choose to share, which can vary significantly. Despite some promising trends towards greater transparency in peer review, a persistent information asymmetry remains — where journals hold more or exclusive knowledge about their processes.
Scientists occasionally share their experiences online, but these accounts often lack detail. To avoid backlash or conflict, researchers tend to self-censor journal names, leaving the specifics unclear. What’s truly missing are genuine, individual experiences from the peer review process.
Amplifying the Missing Voices
We believe in the power of transparency and equal access to information, especially for emerging researchers. This can save time, effort, and resources, helping to avoid frustrations, delays, and potential career setbacks. AJustPeer offers a unique platform where you can share your experiences about scientific journals anonymously or openly, pose specific inquiries about any given journal, and engage in constructive feedback with your peers.
Dive into the Discussion
Your insights can help peers make informed decisions about journal selection, navigate submissions, and better understand the review process. Additionally, sharing your experiences can hold journals accountable. This is your opportunity to amplify your voice.
