The MIT Press has announced that Quantitative Science Studies (QSS), the official open access journal of the International Society for Scientometrics and Informetrics, has started a pilot program with Clarivate to utilise the Publons transparent peer review and reviewer recognition services on the Web of Science platform.
Transparent peer review is especially important for QSS given the journal’s efforts to promote open science principles and its focus on scientometric research, including the study of peer review. In addition to transparent peer review, QSS will also offer reviewer recognition through Publons.
There is a growing demand in the scientific community for reviewers to be recognised and this partnership facilitates this. Reviewers will have a traceable record of reviews to share with employers, university departments, or other relevant parties. The results of the pilot program will be shared with the broader community at the completion of the program. Authors that prefer not to participate in the pilot can still submit their work to QSS.
