Academic publisher Emerald Group Publishing is piloting a year-long integration with Publons to give its reviewers verified recognition for their peer review work.
Publons works with peer reviewers, academic publishers, and research institutions to make peer review a rewarding activity. Established in 2013, the company collects information from peer reviewers and publishers to produce comprehensive reviewer profiles with publisher-verified peer review contributions that researchers can add to their resume without breaking reviewer anonymity.
As a result of the partnership, Emerald reviewers will be able to opt-in to have their reviews for the 10 participating Emerald journals automatically added to their reviewer profile on Publons. The pilot will test whether Emerald journals that integrate with Publons will experience a greater number of affirmative responses to review requests; faster turnaround time in review; and a better quality of review comments.
