LONDON, UK – September 2026 – ReviewerOne, a reviewer-focused platform incubated by Nova Techset, has soft-launched its ecosystem designed to expand and support global peer review capacity. Concurrently, the venture has appointed scholarly publishing leader Michaela Barton as Chief Executive Officer.
ReviewerOne delivers dedicated infrastructure for peer reviewers—combining workflow tooling, structured training via the Reviewer Academy, verifiable recognition, and community support. Built to address widespread reviewer fatigue and capacity shortages in scholarly publishing, the platform helps publishers discover, train, and retain ethically grounded, early-career, and underrepresented reviewers.
Following an initial soft launch and private beta rollout with select academic journal cohorts, the platform is now opening broader access to its reviewer workflow tools and training frameworks.
Michaela Barton, CEO of ReviewerOne, commented:
“Peer review is under unprecedented strain, yet most technology is built for authors and editors—all while we demand more from reviewers and rely on the same narrow pools. ReviewerOne invests directly in the reviewer community, actively bringing the Global South to the table. By uniting practical guidance, recognition, and smart tooling, we are building a sustainable, global reviewer ecosystem that benefits publishers and researchers alike.”
Yogesh Agarwal, Founder of ReviewerOne, added:
“ReviewerOne reflects our commitment to developing targeted, new-model solutions for critical industry challenges. Michaela’s deep experience in editorial workflows and reviewer diversity initiatives makes her ideally suited to lead ReviewerOne as it moves from soft launch into broader market adoption.”
