Publons has announced the winners of the 2017 Publons Peer Review Awards, honouring the top contributors to peer review across all the world's journals. The complete list of winners by category is available at: https://publons.com/awards/.
Publons Peer Review Awards were established in 2016 to celebrate the essential role peer reviewers play in bringing trust and efficiency to scholarly communication. Publons Awards are designed to recognise both the quantity and quality of reviewers’ efforts, and timed to coincide with Peer Review Week (September 11 - 17), a global event celebrating the critical role of peer review in science and research.
Winners were selected from more than 190,000 researchers on Publons' global reviewer database, for the following categories: Top 1% of reviewers in each field; Most highly-rated reviewers; Top reviewers for top journals; Top reviewing institutions - overall and in each field; Top reviewing countries; Top post-publication reviewers; and Top handling editors.
Following this announcement, Publons will reveal on September 19 the recipient of their inaugural Sentinel Award – for outstanding advocacy, innovation or contribution to scholarly peer review. The shortlist was handpicked by a panel of judges from across the publishing industry and includes individual reviewers, career peer review advocates and experts.
