Subject Matter Expert
Review — From $299
A verified domain expert with direct publications in your specific research niche evaluates your manuscript for conceptual strength, technical accuracy, and domain-specific knowledge depth.
When Generic Peer Review Is Not Enough
Some research is so specialised that only a reviewer with direct publication history in your exact niche can provide meaningful feedback. MeritPeer's SME Review pairs your manuscript with a verified subject matter expert — someone who has published in the same specific area, uses the same methodological approaches, and understands the nuances of your research domain at the deepest level.
SME Review is particularly valuable for: highly technical engineering or computational research, specialised clinical sub-disciplines, niche humanities and social science fields, dissertations requiring domain-expert sign-off, and interdisciplinary research crossing two or more specialist domains.

"I work in a very narrow intersection of computational neuroscience and clinical psychiatry. MeritPeer found a reviewer who had published in exactly this space. The depth of feedback was extraordinary."
