“It's very useful to have an externally maintained and verified record of peer review. I use this information in grant and promotion activities and being able to reference my Publons profile adds weight to the information.”

Speeding up science

Generating reviewer engagement Problem: Typically, editors only contact reviewers to ask them to review. There is no engagement and no tools to provide a positive experience after their review is complete.

Solution: Publons sends a branded and configurable email to the reviewer two weeks after the manuscript is published:

This gives reviewers the opportunity to engage with the article they reviewed

Informing them of its publication will increase sharing and Altmetric scores encourage post-publication discussion improve the reviewer experience
