How it works

Apply in about ten minutes. Link your ORCID and pick your fields. Pith sets the price of every job.
We send you papers. You accept or decline. Authors, editors, readers, and institutions request reviews; we match on field. Nothing is assigned over your head: every paper is an offer.
You review, sign, and get paid. You write the review on the paper, sign it anonymously, and publish it. Stripe's card fee comes off the buyer's payment first, Pith keeps 15% of what is left, and you receive the rest.
What you sign publishes, whatever it concludes. A negative review pays the same as a positive one, and it never decides whether the paper is published. Your record, under a verified pen name, grows with every honest review.

Refereeing built your field. Get paid for it.
