Paaplish is now open to everyone.

The public beta opened on World Science Day, 10 November 2026. Paaplish is a marketplace where editors find qualified reviewers and pay them for every review they deliver.

Thank you to all who joined the closed beta.

Get paid for the peer reviews you write.

Peer review is skilled work that researchers usually do for free. Paaplish is a marketplace where editors find qualified reviewers and pay them for every review they deliver.

Peer review is skilled work. It should be paid like skilled work.

For decades, academic publishing has run on the unpaid labour of the researchers who check its quality. The people who generate knowledge, and the peers who evaluate and validate it, rarely share in the economic value they create.

A fairer system is not only possible, it is long overdue. Paaplish aligns the incentive with the contribution: when you review, you are paid for your expertise.
