Open access publisher Hindawi and Publons, a peer review platform and part of the Web of Science Group, have announced a new partnership to improve peer review processes.
Hindawi has integrated the new reviewer search service, Publons Reviewer Connect, with their peer review management systems, including review.hindawi.com, their recently launched open source peer review system. The integration will provide Hindawi’s academic editors with the cross-publisher peer review and editorial history of more than 500,000 Publons’ strong reviewer community. Reviewer Connect will be implemented this month across Hindawi’s 231 peer-reviewed journals to support editors with accurate peer review suggestions.
Hindawi also plans to improve review speed and reduce reviewer workloads by integrating Publons’ Reviewer Availability feature, identifying availability constraints at the time of invitation. Hindawi will work to bring about industry-wide improvements in review efficiency by providing availability data to Publons, where reviewers’ privacy choices permit.
