rapidPeer

The rapidPeer program at Harvard’s Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS) is designed to improve scholarship and speed its publication. rapidPeer provides Harvard University and Washington University in St. Louis scholars with constructive, anonymous peer review of their research documents (i.e., papers, grants, and pre-registration reports) by an outside scholar incentivized to participate, and with a fast turnaround (just four weeks on average).
