Medical and scientific publishing company Karger Publishers has recently joined the Blockchain for Peer Review initiative. After Springer Nature, Cambridge University Press and Taylor & Francis, Karger is the fourth reputable publisher to join the efforts towards making peer review more transparent, efficient and recognisable. Karger, with its longstanding history in the scientific community, has recognised the importance of using blockchain technology as well as synergies between different publishers.
In addition, Wellcome Trust has joined the Blockchain for Peer Review initiative as an advisor. They will investigate together how to recognise grant reviewers for their work using the blockchain, and how to broaden the reviewer pool available for grant reviews by leveraging the overlap in grant and journal article reviews.
