Publons, a Clarivate Analytics company and the peer review platform for researchers, has announced an extended partnership with the academic publisher SAGE Publishing. Through Publons' Reviewer Recognition Service, SAGE will provide automated recognition to peer reviewers for up to 1,000 of their academic journals.
Integrating with all peer review systems, Publons' Reviewer Recognition Service provides instant recognition for reviewers contributions, in full compliance with journal review policies. SAGE authors and editors will have access to Publons' tools and insights designed to help them understand and serve their peer review community more effectively.
Since the pilot began in June 2016, more than 30,000 SAGE peer reviewers have recorded more than 80,000 reviews on Publons. The significant uptake demonstrates the growing relevance of peer review as a marker of researchers' esteem and subject-matter expertise.
Reviewers for SAGE journals will also benefit from Publons' Historic Review Upload feature. This offers increased visibility and recognition for all reviews, no matter when they were performed. This unique capability streamlines the recognition process for past review activity, adding historic reviews in bulk to researchers' Publons profiles. Evidence of all peer review contributions can be downloaded from a reviewers' Publons profile and used as evidence of their service and standing for promotion and funding applications.
