Scholarly publishing company HighWire Press has announced a partnership with Peer Review Evaluation (PRE) to offer turn-key integration of PRE, a transparency service from AAAS that improves the visibility of the peer review process.
To mark this partnership and help publishers illustrate the integrity of their peer review process, PRE will cover any development costs for the first five HighWire publishing partners to adopt PRE in 2017. The PRE service uses an API to display details about the peer review process applied to an article when it goes live, without changing editorial workflows or requiring editorial action by using manuscript meta-data.
In a market research conducted by PRE, 95 percent of readers of scholarly research said they want a clear indicator that the article they are reading is peer reviewed and 74 percent want to see details about the peer review method used. The number of visitors viewing the PRE display is another indicator of reader interest in peer review. Each month, there are as many as 13,000 reader clicks on the PRE badge across prestigious journals in the Science family.
