Peer Review Workflow Support
Why Status Plus?
Peer review is fundamental to the quality and credibility of scholarly publishing. Status Plus supports editorial teams and societies in coordinating peer review workflows and maintaining ethical review processes that uphold publishing standards.
Editorial teams benefit from our understanding that authors, editors, and reviewers balance their publishing responsibilities with demanding professional and personal commitments. Working behind the scenes, we help minimize interruptions and reduce the administrative burden on those involved.
Our peer review support is available both to organizations partnering with Status Plus for full editorial office management and to those seeking standalone support.
Our Approach
Status Plus provides proactive oversight of the peer review process, from manuscript submission through editorial decision-making. Our managing editors coordinate workflows, identify potential delays, and maintain consistent communication with authors, reviewers, and editors.
Through responsive and transparent processes, we help editorial teams manage reviews efficiently while maintaining the ethical standards and editorial integrity expected in scholarly publishing.
What We Do

We manage and continuously review peer review systems to ensure they support efficient and reliable editorial workflows. This includes system configuration, updates and testing, reviewer database management, and maintaining the quality and accuracy of submission and reviewer data.
We also support the integration of peer review systems with relevant publishing platforms and other tools, helping ensure that data moves consistently across systems and that editorial teams have access to the information they need throughout the peer review process.

Organization & Communication
We coordinate communication across authors, reviewers, and editors throughout the peer review process, ensuring that everyone has the information they need and that required actions are followed up in a timely manner.
This includes monitoring manuscript progress, coordinating reviewer invitations and reminders, following up on revisions and outstanding actions, and supporting authors with submission requirements. Through consistent communication and oversight, we help keep manuscripts moving through peer review and editorial decision-making according to publication timelines.
