Today we're announcing a partnership with bioRxiv, the preprint server for biology. Starting now, bioRxiv authors can send their preprints directly to Reviewer3 for comprehensive AI review.
Authors around the globe share work publicly for the first time on bioRxiv. Preprints democratize access to science and help researchers get timely feedback from the scientific community.
But the literature is growing faster than the reviewers available to vet it, and AI-assisted writing makes it easier than ever to produce work that looks polished while hiding unsupported claims or fabricated citations.
Rigorous and timely feedback is needed to vet an exponentially growing literature. This partnership gives bioRxiv authors access to that rigor from Reviewer3.
What Reviewer3 Offers bioRxiv Authors
When you send your preprint to Reviewer3, you receive a comprehensive technical review within minutes.
Reviewer3 is a multi-agent, domain-specific review system built specifically for science. Specialized reviewer agents work in parallel, each augmented with custom tools for citation verification, statistical assessment, and claim and evidence verification. Together they flag unsupported claims, fatal design flaws, invalid references, and the other issues that bear directly on a paper's major conclusions.
Reviewer3 focuses on objective, verifiable technical checks. It does not score manuscripts on novelty or significance. Our benchmark findings show that this kind of objective verification is exactly where AI contributes most to peer review, leaving questions of contribution and importance to human experts.
Each comment is anchored directly to your manuscript and linked to evidence, with justifications for why it matters and actionable suggestions for improvement.
In our survey of users, 90.6% of Reviewer3 comments are rated useful. Reviewer3 is benchmarked on 145,000+ human and AI review comments, and 87.9–93.2% of feedback is consequential to the major claims within a paper.
How It Works
Sending your bioRxiv preprint to Reviewer3 takes less than a minute and feedback arrives in your email inbox:
- After submitting your preprint, go to your Author Area in the bioRxiv submission portal
- Click "Submit Preprint to External Author Service"
- Scroll to your paper and select "Reviewer3" from the dropdown
- Click Submit and confirm
Your manuscript and metadata will be transferred securely. You'll receive an email with access to your review. You can visit the link immediately and watch your results stream to you within minutes.
Strengthening Your Work Before and After Sharing
We recommend running Reviewer3 on your earliest drafts to catch and correct critical issues.
Towards AI Review
This partnership is the beginning of a broader vision. As preprint servers and journals experiment with AI-assisted review, we're building the infrastructure to support responsible adoption, with transparency, measurement, and continuous improvement at the core.
We're grateful to the bioRxiv team for their commitment to innovation and their trust in this collaboration. Together, we're working toward a future where every researcher can share their best work with confidence.
Ready to try it? If you have a preprint on bioRxiv, you can send it to Reviewer3 today through your Author Area. Or upload any manuscript directly to see what AI review looks like.
