River Valley Technologies has developed a new feature within their peer review platform, ReView, to recognise peer reviewers' work. River Valley worked closely with ORCID to allow reviewers who use the platform to update their ORCID records automatically with their reviews.
Authors and peer reviewers have always been able to log in to ReView with their ORCID records. However, this new feature will give peer reviewers the additional facility to link their reviews back to ORCID. Once they have linked their ORCID IDs to ReView, they can simply give explicit permission for the review details to be uploaded.
The details of the data uploaded to ORCID can be as explicit and as granular as the journal policy allows, from fully open reviews, with the content uploaded, to highly restrictive double blind reviews where only high-level details are published. ReView gives the author the choice as to whether to upload a particular review or not, and they can retrospectively decide to add or to delete any reviews in their ORCID record.
