Publons, a peer review recognition platform, and open-access publisher Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) have entered into a partnership to give credit to peer reviewers for 55 MDPI journals. Peer reviewers at participating MDPI journals now have the option to automatically receive recognition for their peer review contributions on the Publons platform.
Publons works with peer reviewers, editors, and academic journals to motivate reviewers by giving credit for peer review. Established in 2013, the company provides a way for peer reviewers to get credit for their contributions (without breaking reviewer anonymity) in a format they can include in employment and funding applications.
MDPI AG is an open-access publisher established in 1996. MDPI publishes over 120 peer-reviewed academic journals, and are members of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the International Association of Scientific, Technical, and Medical Publishers (STM), and the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA).
