Advancing science in Latin America by connecting researchers with international experts to improve the quality of their academic work
Amsterdam and Bogotá, December 1, 2020 – Peerwith, the leading researcher services marketplace for institutions worldwide, and AvanCiencia, the leading research management organization in Colombia, today announce a partnership connecting the researchers and institutions in Latin America with international experts in the Peerwith network.
Peerwith helps researchers raise the quality of their scientific output to meet the publication standards of high impact journals. In our partnerships with institutions we connect researchers with thousands of international academic experts and provide a simple payment solution for the institution. These Institutional Solutions will now also be made available to institutions in Latin America with localized support from our partner AvanCiencia.
“Universities want to climb world rankings”, says Maria Piedad Villaveces Niño, director of AvanCiencia. “They will have to increase quantity and quality of scientific output, not only in Spanish but also in the English language. They need the help of publishing experts. We want to connect our researchers in Latin America with experts in the Peerwith marketplace. “
Ivo Verbeek, director of Peerwith, talks about this new partnership, “Peerwith helps not only the individual researcher, but a vast and diverse number of institutions as well. Institutions worldwide asked us to rise up to the new challenges of coordinating experts in a smart and efficient way to consistently publish the best academic work. We recently announced the new Peerwith Institutional Solutions, three subscription plans in the flavors of Lite, Full and Premium. We are excited to partner with a trustworthy, forward-thinking partner such as AvanCiencia to represent us in Colombia and the entire Latin American region.“
