The American Psychological Association (APA), the largest scientific organisation representing psychology in the United States, has announced a new partnership with the peer review platform Publons, a Clarivate Analytics company. APA will pilot Publons' Reviewer Recognition service across 30 of their core journals.
Publons' Reviewer Recognition Service integrates with all peer review submission systems, providing peer reviewers instant recognition for their contributions, in full compliance with journal review policies. During the pilot, experts who peer review for APA's participating journals can instantly add records of their reviews to Publons with the click of a button. This added recognition lets APA reviewers effortlessly maintain a verified record of their peer review contributions for promotion and funding applications.
The pilot also provides APA with access to exclusive tools and insights designed to help them better understand and serve their peer review community. The pilot builds on promising organic demand for the service, with over 1,800 APA reviewers having already manually added more than 6,000 review records to Publons.
Academics interested in reviewing for participating APA journals will be able to connect with an editorial member through the click of a button on the journal's profile page.
