Publons, a Clarivate Analytics company and the peer review platform for researchers, has announced the winners of the Publons Peer Review Awards - highlighting global researchers for both the quality and quantity of their peer reviews.
The awards honour the best in class for peer review over the past year and are broken down into the following categories: top 1 percent of reviewers in their field; top quality reviewers; top reviewers for top journals; top-handling editors.
In addition, this year a new community-choice award has been added for early-career researchers' exceptional contribution to peer review with a prize of US$1,500. This peer-nominated and voted award recognises an individual who has been influential in the realm of peer review, or has significantly contributed to improving the system.
The theme for Peer Review Week 2018 focuses on helping the world to understand and foster diversity and inclusion in peer review. By focusing on both the quality and quantity of researchers' efforts, the Publons Peer Review Awards are not bound by geographical or educational borders, but rather honour the rich dimensions of diversity within the peer reviewing community.
Publons has also garnered support for the awards from key industry players, which include Sage, Wiley and Cambridge University Press.
