Reviewer Recognition #

Recognizing the vital contribution of reviewers to the scientific process, ICArEHB encourages its researchers to seek and accept recognition for their peer review work. Reviewer recognition increases accountability and allows reviewers to build a portfolio of their contributions.

Publons:

• Researchers can use Publons to track, verify, and showcase their peer review work. Publons integrates with many journals to automatically record reviews, allowing reviewers to receive recognition for their efforts without compromising the confidentiality of the review process.

ORCID:

• ORCID profiles allow researchers to link their peer review contributions to their unique researcher identifier, providing an easily accessible record of their reviewing activity.

Acknowledgment in Publications:

• Many journals that use open peer review will publicly acknowledge reviewers, either by listing their names in the published article or by making their review reports available with their identity.

Institutional Recognition:

• ICArEHB encourages its researchers to list peer review activities in their professional evaluations and annual reports. Peer review is considered a valuable contribution to the scientific community, and ICArEHB recognizes it as an important component of academic service.
