— providing authors  with:

• a profile page for posting titles and abstracts of papers that authors wish to have peer reviewed;

• option to post original date-stamped, un-reviewed manuscripts in a permanent public SciOR Pre-Print Archive — to establish author priority / precedence for a novel idea/finding;

• opportunity to invite reviewers for their papers — including from a listing of other registered members — and to work together with reviewers to improve their papers;

• liaison for arranging any negotiated reviewer remuneration, to ensure that reviews are well executed and timely;

• posting of their revised, peer-reviewed papers (and their reviews), ready for perusal by journal editors;

• optional publication of their revised peer-reviewed papers — for a nominal author fee — in Proceedings of Science Open Reviewed.

— providing reviewers  with:

• liaison for arranging any negotiated remuneration for reviewing — as fair and motivating compensation for professional service;

• posting of their reviews linked to revised papers that are ready for perusal by journal editors;

• optional and free publication of their peer-reviewed reviewer commentary / response papers in Proceedings of Science Open Reviewed.
