Get recognized for peer review
Web of Science Reviewer Recognition Service™ , formerly Publons™, provides instant recognition for peer review and enables APA reviewers and action editors to maintain a verified record of their contributions for promotion and funding applications. The service is integrated with APA’s peer review submission system. You can opt-in to have your reviews for participating APA journals automatically added to your Web of Science Researcher Profile.
What is the Web of Science Reviewer Recognition Service?
The service helps you to record, verify, and showcase your peer review contributions for use in promotion and funding applications. You get recognition even if your reviews are anonymous and the manuscript is never published.
Web of Science Reviewer Recognition Service gives recognition for peer review without compromising reviewer anonymity or infringing upon journal policies. By default, the content of the review will not be publicly displayed, and only the journal title and the number of reviews will be shown on reviewer profiles.
You may edit what is displayed for any review or opt out of the service at any time.
How does the service work?
When reviewing for an integrated journal:
- You will be asked if you want to get recognition for it in Web of Science
- Once your review is completed you will receive an email with a private link to claim your review
- Follow the link to add your review to your reviewer profile
