Why This Platform Matters

Choosing the right journal is one of the most critical decisions for researchers, yet impact factors, indexing claims, and timelines only reveal part of the story. The true measure of a journal lies in the experiences of those who have engaged with it.

Key Challenges Researchers Face:
  • Uncertainty about peer-review rigour and editorial standards
  • Misleading claims about indexing and impact metrics
  • Lack of transparency in publication timelines
  • Limited access to community-driven, evidence-based evaluations
Our Solution:

“We close this gap by enabling researchers to read and write first-hand journal reviews, empowering better publishing decisions and promoting transparency.”

How ExPros Ensures Credibility

  • Verified Contributors: Only researchers with institutional email or ORCID ID can submit reviews, ensuring authentic participation from the academic community.
  • Moderated Reviews: Every review undergoes internal checks to maintain factual accuracy, professionalism, and respect — preventing misleading or harmful content.
  • Indexed Journals Only: Reviews are currently limited to journals indexed in Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science (SCIE, SSCI, ESCI) to ensure discussions focus on reputable, peer-reviewed outlets that meet recognised scholarly standards.
