Of Interest to the Information Community

London, UK | January 8, 2025

River Valley Technologies (RVT), a pioneer in scholarly publishing solutions, is proud to announce the official launch of ReView 3.0, its cutting-edge submission and peer review platform. With over 35 years of expertise, RVT has continuously invested in its publishing technology solutions. ReView 3.0 is the latest result of this commitment. Developed in close collaboration with industry experts and end-users, the platform introduces innovations that address research integrity and streamline the peer review process.

Breakthrough Innovations in ReView 3.0

ReView 3.0 introduces several game-changing features designed to raise the standard for peer review management, while ensuring integrity and efficiency:

• Integrated Research Integrity checks: addressing the increasing challenge of research misconduct, ReView 3.0 integrates advanced tools to detect suspicious or unethical submissions. The system uses plagiarism detection, AI and metadata analysis to pinpoint compromised content.
• Annotated Peer Review: a unique feature that automatically creates full article XML upstream, allowing authors and reviewers to annotate manuscripts directly. This shift helps detect inconsistencies at an earlier stage, enhances the efficacy of peer review, and reduces the cost and time of production.

A proven solution for leading publishers

ReView, winner of the 2022 ISMTE Innovation award, has already been embraced by a number of prominent publishers and Editorial offices, including Emerald Publishing, GigaScience and Origin Editorial. ReView boasts a painless transition process, highly flexible workflows, combined with a fast moving roadmap which is aligned with industry requirements. 

Ben Ramster, Commissioning Lead - Journals at Emerald Publishing commented: “We are delighted with the extensive features and the flexibility of ReView 3.0. Combined with ReView’s intuitive interface, these have been instrumental in delivering considerable efficiencies in our peer review process. Over the years, River Valley's team has consistently provided fast and a genuine willingness to collaborate on solutions tailored to our needs.”

A legacy of trust and innovation

Maryam Bazargan, Director at RVT, commented: “ReView 3.0 represents our long-term mission to meet the real-world needs of the scholarly publishing community, delivering time and cost efficiencies at all stages of the publishing process. By collaborating with industry leaders and incorporating extensive user feedback, we built a system that not only enhances workflows but also strengthens the integrity of published research.”
