Peer review / Visible rigour

A trust layer readers can examine.

Equors makes review structured, version-aware and transparent—while protecting reviewer independence and confidential material.

Open reviewer demo
Review standard

Four principles govern every decision.

01

Claims match evidence.

Reviewers assess whether methods, data and limitations support the conclusions actually presented.

02

Conflicts are explicit.

Identity, affiliation, funding and competing-interest checks occur before access to the record.

03

Versions remain connected.

Every decision, response and revision is attached to the exact manuscript version reviewed.

04

Transparency has boundaries.

Public review records are separated from confidential notes, protected data and identity choices.

Ethics & safeguards

Open where useful. Protected where necessary.

Transparency never overrides consent, reviewer safety, confidential data, legal restrictions or responsible disclosure.

Conflict intelligence

Affiliation, co-authorship and declared-interest checks support human editorial judgement.

Identity choice

Reviewers may sign public reports or remain anonymous according to policy and risk.

Protected evidence

Restricted data can be described and verified without being publicly exposed.

Appeals record

Appeals are handled by an independent editor with a complete decision trail.
