Advantages & Role of Reviewer / Referral Partner
Earn 100 reward points for every paper you refer
IJRTI’s RMS exists to recognise the people who make peer review work. Join free, refer a colleague or student, and receive 100 points — worth ₹100 — each time a referred paper is published in International Journal for Research Trends and Innovation.
Anyone qualified can join the Referral Management System as a member. Register yourself by filling in the online form — there is no fee to join and no obligation to review a set number of papers.
Refer a colleague or student to publish with IJRTI. Give them your Referral ID, which they enter when they submit their paper. That ID is the only thing linking the referral to your account.
The referred paper goes through the same transparent peer review as any other submission. Once it is accepted, the formalities are completed and the paper is published — usually within 1–2 days.
100 reward points are credited to your RMS account for every referred paper that is successfully published. Points are visible in your account immediately after publication.
Anyone who is a genuine expert in a paper’s research field. In practice that means a PhD in the relevant discipline, or a Master’s degree in the relevant field with at least five years of experience in it. IJRTI is multidisciplinary, so specialists from every subject are welcome — engineering, science, medical, pharmacy, management, commerce, social science, humanities, law, education and agriculture.

An official certificate and appointment letter, downloadable from your RMS portal as soon as membership is confirmed.

Visibility in Your Field
Work alongside an editorial board of subject specialists and raise your profile with the people who matter in your discipline.
- Complete the online form on the Join as Reviewer page. There is no fee and no obligation.
- You receive an acknowledgement by email at the address you registered.
- The editorial team reviews your qualifications and experience against the criteria above.
- On acceptance you receive a confirmation email containing your Reviewer / Referral ID and RMS login credentials.
- Sign in to the RMS portal to review papers, track referrals and monitor your point balance.
- A referred colleague or student must complete the entire publication process through to publication before any points are credited.
- Points appear in your RMS account after the referred paper is successfully published, and are visible on your dashboard.
- 1 reward point = ₹1.
- Once you have earned enough points to use them, the balance appears as account credit.
- Points can be redeemed once the balance reaches ₹599 — roughly 6 published referrals.
- The referring reviewer must supply their Reviewer ID to the author, who enters it when submitting the paper. Without that ID the referral cannot be linked to your account.
- Publication charges are paid by the submitting author — ₹599 for Indian authors, $45 USD for international authors. Referral partners pay nothing.

How many points do I earn per paper?
When can I redeem my points?
Is there any cost to join?
Do I get a certificate?
What happens if the referred paper is rejected?
How do I check my point balance?
Can I refer more than one person?
Points accrue per published referral, not per submission — a paper that is rejected earns nothing, which is deliberate. The table below shows where the balance sits as referrals accumulate.
| Published Referrals | Points Earned | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 1 referral | ₹100 | Below ₹599 threshold |
| 3 referrals | ₹300 | Below ₹599 threshold |
| 5 referrals | ₹500 | Below ₹599 threshold |
| 10 referrals | ₹1,000 | Redeemable |
| 25 referrals | ₹2,500 | Redeemable |
Being on the panel is not open-ended. Papers are sent to you only in your declared subject area, and you can decline any of them without explanation.
Your Certificate & Transparent Peer Review
IJRTI publishes reviewer reports alongside the article, so the work you do is visible rather than filed away. That is what makes the certificate mean something to an appraisal committee.
