In the World of Science, Integrity is Everything

We firmly uphold the values of accuracy, reliability, and trustworthiness as the foundation of scientific publishing. The peer review process is therefore extremely crucial, and something we have applied to all our content. To be truly incorruptible, we collaborate closely with the independent researchers and editors of our journals to determine whether a manuscript should be published.

Possessing 100 years of experience developing a bulletproof peer-review process, we aim to cultivate an environment that makes placing your confidence in us the easiest decision you will make in your publishing journey. Read more about how we follow the latest updates, remain well connected and constantly evolve: The Long Road of Research Integrity.

Through feedback, reviewers support the authors to create a better version of their article while also ensuring the accuracy of the published scientific findings.

Karger distinguishes quality work from the rest by recognizing:

  • Reviewer Certificates
  • Automatic Update “Peer Review Section” in ORCiD Profile
  • Annual Acknowledgement in the Journals
  • Best Reviewers Award in Selected Journals
