Traditional peer review often takes months and costs several thousand dollars for open-access publications. Preprint servers are fast and inexpensive, but they do not provide human qualified peer review at all. AI Peer Review deliberately positions itself somewhere in between. An AI analyses the manuscript against standardised criteria such as originality, methodological rigour and relevance, drawing additionally on specialist databases. The response includes:
The first review is free of charge.
The decision on publication always rests with the authors, and copyright remains with the submitter. Published works appear under a Creative Commons licence. The AI provides an indication of quality, not a judgement on what may be published.
AI Peer Review will launch in 2026 and, from the outset, will collect real-world data on how reliably automated reviews work. Anyone wishing to find out more about the platform or submit their own work can find further information directly on the AI Peer Review website: https://aipeerreview.net
