Peer Pre-Review Program (PPR)

The peer pre-review (PPR) program at Harvard’s Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS) is designed to improve scholarship and speed its publication. PPR 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).
