Description
The publishing community is working toward more meaningful and innovative ways to give reviewers credit for the essential work they provide to scholarly publishing. In conjunction with Peer Review Week 2016, this Webinar will focus on some innovative approaches publishers are taking to acknowledge the contributions of their peer reviewer communities. These include working with individual journals to create a culture of peer reviewer recognition using targeted, journal-specific efforts, building systemic networks of recognition throughout a publisher community, or by integrating with organizations like Publons or ORCID that connect peer review activity to broader publication and research activity. Peer review is just one piece of the research continuum, and individuals that participate in this process should be recognized for their contributions!
Learning Objectives
- Discuss the benefits of formal recognition of peer reviewers, both to the reviewers and the publications they support.
- Discuss what journals can do to recognize their peer reviewers, including offering educational credits, forms of public recognition, reaching out to reviewers' institutions to acknowledge their service, and providing resources to reviewers, among others.
- Learn how publishers are integrating partnerships with Publons and ORCID into their peer review processes to leverage these organization's capabilities to recognize and support peer reviewers.
