Case Study: Thieme Streamlines Anonymous Peer Reviews with Filestage

Thieme runs anonymous peer reviews in parallel for faster crowd reviews

Thieme, an award-winning international medical and science publisher, needed a better way to run anonymous peer reviews of scientific publications. Before using Filestage, multiple experts could not review the same manuscript anonymously at the same time while leaving real-time comments, which slowed down their approval process.

With Filestage, Thieme set up an anonymized Select Crowd Review workflow using review links, simultaneous commenting, and PDF export of all annotations. Filestage made the process easier for editors, improved collaboration and feedback speed, and enabled Thieme to replace the classic peer review model with a more efficient review process.
