Rubriq Information

We believe there is a faster way to publish trusted research. In the current journal submission process, rejection is common, yet reviews are rarely passed along from one journal to the next. This leads to reviewers repeating work that has already been done on the same manuscript by other colleagues. To address this issue, the Rubriq team has created standardized peer review instrument that can be used for any paper that follows the traditional scientific method. This patent-pending scorecard process is used for double-blinded peer review by three academic reviewers. Detailed comments are accompanied by numerical ratings for each of the sections that can be used to quickly sort papers by quality and impact, producing an overall score (R-Score). The scoring system will be aligned with journal acceptance rates and other key factors, which will allow the Rubriq system to suggest best matches between journals and papers. The Rubriq independent peer review system offers authors the advantage of a fast (in about a week) pre-submission peer review from three experts in their field, as well as recommendations for the best journal match for their manuscripts. Reviewers receive compensation for their expedited reviews and benefit from the efficiency of a standardized scorecard. When an author submits a manuscript and includes a Rubriq Report, journals can use the data to pre-screen papers to make their own processes more efficient. ------------------------------------------------------------- Rubriq is a Research Square company.
