"SciRev.org is a website made by researchers for researchers. By offering researchers the possibility to share their experience with the review process, we aim to make the scientific review process more transparent. Efficient journals get credits for their efforts to improve their review process and the way they handle manuscripts. Less efficient journals are stimulated to put energy in organizing things better. Researchers can search for a journal with a speedy review procedure and have their papers published earlier."
