PREreview
@prereview.org
PREreview's mission is to bring more diversity and equity to scholarly peer review by supporting and empowering communities of researchers, particularly those at early stages of their career (ECRs) and historically underrepresented in scholarship, to review preprints in a process that is rewarding to them. PREreview gives systematically disadvantaged scientists better ways to find a voice, train, and engage in peer review. Our work is a direct response to the flawed way scientific research is evaluated. Behind closed doors, a handful of unpaid reviewers—selected opaquely and mainly through personal connections—use subjective criteria to decide the fate of a research article. This arcane process is slow and disadvantages researchers from historically underrepresented groups. PREreview is a fiscally sponsored project of the non-profit organization Code for Science and Society.

About PREreview
PREreview is a brand that is dedicated to bringing more equity and transparency to scholarly peer review. They support and empower communities of researchers, especially those at early stages of their career and historically excluded groups, to review preprints in a process that is rewarding to them. Founded in 2017, PREreview aims to make science and scholarship more equitable, transparent, and collaborative.
They provide systematic support to scientists who are traditionally disadvantaged, offering them better ways to find a voice, train, and engage in peer review. PREreview addresses the flaws in the current evaluation process by training researchers in giving and receiving feedback, engaging marginalized communities, and implementing measures to reflect on personal bias. They envision a future where every researcher is empowered with the skills to recognize and fight bias, and is welcomed into a peer review culture that values constructive feedback.
PREreview's values include equal access, connecting people, self-reflection, and measurable success. They design and develop open source infrastructure to enable constructive feedback on preprints, facilitate collaborations and connections between researchers, and partner with like-minded organizations to create rewarding preprint review experiences. Join the conversation and support PREreview in their mission for a more equitable and transparent scholarly community
