ReView 3.0 is our XML-based peer review platform that streamlines the submission and review process for authors, reviewers, and publishers. With integrated production tracking and powerful data analytics, publishers benefit from a real-time, portfolio-wide view that simplifies workflow management.
The RVT Research integrity checker, developed with industry experts, automatically flags potential issues at submission, helping teams quickly pinpoint concerns and reduce time spent on manual checks.
Our unique cloud-based production system generates XML from authors’ Word or LaTeX files, provides online proofing and instantly creates PDFs directly from XML. The system delivers full version history, and can handle multiple versions – all on a single platform, speeding up publication.
Our authoring platform simplifies and enhances collaboration and moves XML generation upstream. Authors and publishers benefit from an accelerated, transparent process whilst maintaining research integrity.
Our adaptable publishing platform supports multiple content types providing multilingual and accessible views for readers. Built for fast set up and smooth ingestion of publisher’s XML, it’s a scalable solution for all publishing needs.
Instant overview of the publisher’s entire portfolio provides powerful insights with comprehensive analytics and reporting. Track the entire publishing workflow and make data-driven decisions to enhance efficiency and impact.

Technical philosophy
XML-first structure for longevity and flexibility
Single source publishing is at the heart of River Valley’s processes, with an absolute guarantee of fidelity between formats. This means publishers can publish their XML and nothing else and PDFs can be created on the fly and in real time, as requested by readers.
Independent, future-proof solutions
Our platforms are built from the ground up, with zero dependency on proprietary third-party software. This includes our XML-based pagination engine, created with open-source software, ensuring future-proofing and security for our clients.
Designed for accessibility
We believe in “born accessible” content. Our platforms generate content in multiple formats, including on-demand PDFs optimized for accessibility—serving users with visual impairments or dyslexia.
User-friendly and mobile-ready
All of our platforms are designed to be intuitive, responsive, and fully optimized for tablets and mobile devices. Whether users are on desktop or mobile, our systems provide a seamless, easy-to-navigate experience.

"If you have semi-structured content – like humanitarian standards – to be made available both digitally and in print, consider creating the digital version first. RVT’s ‘XML-first’ publishing approach lets you do just this, and structuring your content early opens a range of possibilities."
