Publisher John Wiley & Sons has announced that a further 750 journals will be integrated with Publons, the world's leading peer review recognition platform. The partnership is an expansion of a 6-month pilot program that Wiley and Publons ran in 2015.
The partnership allows those who peer review for any of Wiley's participating journals to effortlessly track and verify every review. Publons members can use their verified peer review and editorial records in funding and promotion applications. Publons also offers a suite of statistics and insights showing how reviewers compare to others in their field.
Publons aims to speed up science by harnessing the power of peer review. In a 6-month pilot project, Publons and Wiley observed an improvement in reviewer acceptance rates for the pilot journals, as well as faster review times among reviewers that opted in - effectively speeding up the process for scrutinising and communicating academic research.
Publons provides verified recognition for peer review without compromising reviewer anonymity or infringing upon journal review models.
