Expand and engage your reviewer pool

Increase reviewer participation and acceptance rates by using Eliza to streamline the review process and handle the most tedious tasks.

Improve peer review quality

Eliza guides reviewers through a structured evaluation form covering important manuscript aspects, leading to more rigorous and comprehensive assessment.

Give authors better feedback

Eliza prompts reviewers to provide examples, substantiate their critiques, and phrase their comments in precise English, so authors receive clear and actionable feedback.

Leverage AI for more insights

Through automated content analysis and interactive modes, Eliza helps reviewers engage with the paper more deeply. AI summaries provide editors insights to act on reviewers' recommendations.

Accelerate and simplify decision-making

Eliza enables journal editors and conference chairs to make faster, more informed decisions with aggregated reviewer comments and decision-letter support.

Safeguard research integrity

Eliza enhances peer review integrity by prompting reviewers to provide more detailed reviews, helping reviewers identify potential issues, and compiling reviewers' comments in a clear and actionable way.

Transforming peer review
Reference analysis
Eliza provides a bibliography analysis of papers under review to reviewers, editors, and conference chairs, offering insight into the recency of cited works, the impact scores of cited journals or conference proceedings, and more. This helps to assess the relevance and credibility of references, and offers a deeper understanding of the paper's scholarly context.
Discuss the paper
Eliza enables in-depth discussions about research papers during the peer review by comprehending and analyzing their content. Engage in interactive Q&A, and let your sparring partner help you write a great review.
Dynamic review feedback
Done with your draft review? Eliza provides high-quality feedback for improvement based on your original review text. This ensures that authors receive constructive and actionable feedback, enhancing the overall quality and effectiveness of the peer review process.
Executive summaries
Once all peer reviews are submitted, Eliza compiles an executive summary for the editor or conference chair, distilling key points and insights from each review. This overview empowers editors to make well-informed decisions quickly. Pre-written snippets allow decision-makers to write a constructive decision letter with minimal effort.
Search paper content
Editors can utilize Eliza's vector-based search engine to efficiently search paper content. This enables quick verification of reviewer comments and easy location of specific information within the paper.
Human expertise meets AI capability
Peer reviewers are at the center of our mission. Eliza does not replace human expertise but rather supports it - helping reviewers write more thorough reviews, more efficiently.
