FAQ
How can PeerReview Help you?
Peer review is where editorial quality is established. The challenge is no longer simply finding reviewers—it is identifying qualified, available, unbiased experts, keeping reviews moving, and delivering consistent feedback to authors. PageMajik combines reviewer intelligence, workflow automation, configurable review forms, and editorial governance to create a peer review experience that benefits reviewers, editors, publishers, and authors alike.
Finding reviewers should never rely on keyword searches alone. High-quality peer review depends on selecting experts who understand the subject, have the capacity to review, and can provide objective, timely feedback. PageMajik combines reviewer intelligence with configurable editorial policies to recommend reviewers using publication history, subject expertise, reviewer performance, current workload, publisher-maintained reviewer databases, and historical engagement.
To support objective reviewer selection, recommendations can consider configurable collaboration separation rules, helping editors avoid recently connected researchers. Eligibility can also consider acceptance history, on-time delivery, workload, and retraction history, giving editors richer information while preserving complete editorial judgement.
Editorial delays are often caused by declining invitations, unavailable reviewers, and missed deadlines. PageMajik automates invitation batches, reminder schedules, and reviewer follow-up while allowing reviewers to accept or decline invitations, declare conflicts of interest, suggest alternate completion dates, and communicate directly with the editorial office.
The result is a professional reviewer experience that respects reviewers' time while significantly reducing manual coordination for editorial teams.
Every journal evaluates research differently. PageMajik enables publishers to design structured online review forms tailored to individual journals, article types, and review models. Questions, scoring, recommendations, declarations, attachments, and mandatory responses are fully configurable.
Context-aware review forms display questions alongside the relevant manuscript section as reviewers scroll through the article, encouraging more complete, accurate, and thoughtful reviews.
Reviewer comments often require editorial refinement before being shared with authors. Editors can hide confidential comments, improve wording for clarity, add editorial guidance, and consolidate multiple reviews into a single coherent response.
Every modification is version controlled and fully audit trailed, ensuring transparency, governance, and a complete history of editorial decisions while improving the quality of author communication.
Whether managing one journal or hundreds, PageMajik provides a configurable peer review platform that adapts to different editorial policies, reviewer databases, review models, forms, reminders, and workflows. Built on a modern microservices architecture, the platform scales horizontally to support thousands of concurrent reviewer and editor sessions while maintaining performance and reliability.
Getting Started
Every publisher follows a unique peer review process, shaped by journal policies, editorial practices, reviewer communities, and publication standards. PageMajik Peer Review is designed to adapt to those requirements rather than imposing a predefined workflow. Configure reviewer recommendation rules, reviewer sources, review models, invitation strategies, review forms, editorial decisions, reminders, notifications, and workflow rules without changing the underlying application.

Once configured, the platform intelligently guides every manuscript through a consistent, transparent, and auditable peer review process. Editors are supported with reviewer intelligence, reviewers benefit from a streamlined online review experience, and publishers retain complete control over editorial policies, governance, and workflow automation.
Benefits & Capabilities
SmartSubmit supports both solicited and unsolicited manuscripts and architected to work for books as well as journals. It covers almost all the scenarios including the outliers that can happen during submission.
Give Editors Complete Control Over the Review Process
Peer review should support editorial judgement, not replace it. PageMajik provides editors with the tools to compare reviewer recommendations, refine reviewer feedback, consolidate comments, and prepare clear, constructive responses before decisions are communicated to authors.
Individual reviewer comments can be hidden, rephrased for clarity, or supplemented with editorial guidance while preserving the original review. Every action is version controlled and fully audit trailed, ensuring transparency, governance, and a complete history of editorial decisions without compromising reviewer integrity.
Make Reviewing Easy for Busy Experts
The best reviewers are often the busiest. PageMajik removes unnecessary friction by providing a secure online review experience that requires no software installation or complex setup. Reviewers can accept or decline invitations, declare conflicts of interest, propose alternative review dates, complete structured reviews online, attach supporting files, and communicate directly with the editorial office from a single workspace.

Context-aware review forms present questions alongside the relevant section of the manuscript as reviewers read, creating a more natural and efficient review experience. By making the review process simple and intuitive, publishers can improve reviewer engagement, increase acceptance rates, and encourage timely, high-quality reviews.

This balanced approach reduces manual coordination, keeps reviews progressing, and helps journals deliver faster editorial decisions without sacrificing quality.
