Join as Reviewer

Open Exploration is an academic publisher of open access, peer-reviewed online journals. All its articles, except for some Editorials released by the Editors, are subject to a fair and rigorous single-blind peer review, which ensures the high standard of published articles. The contribution each reviewer made is invaluable and significant to build a high quality journal. Hence, Open Exploration is always seeking capable and motivated scholars to join us and also invites the interested experts to register in our newly developed review platform, ARES Review System.

The ARES Review system is a peer review platform developed for reviewers to provide a scientific and convenient manuscript review system and make the review more personalized and efficient. It brings together a group of ardent academic researchers in different fields worldwide to make contributions to peer review and the development of academic publishing. For reviewers, the ARES Review system enables them to set review status (available for review or not) and review preferences (interested fields), define review timelines, manage reviewed articles, maintain instant messaging with editors, check final decisions of reviewed articles, and obtain access to the final review report (including other reviewers' comments, review quality evaluation, and review efficiency report).

Its unique advantages lie in:

★ All-in-One Review Process

★ Searching Reviewers: System Recommendation and Editor's Invitation

★ Self-Defined Review Schedule

★ Points Reward Mechanism

★ Register Verification, Scoring Mechanism, and Disciplinary Measures provide guarantee for the quality control of the system
