Recognition for Reviewers

A reviewer’s input to the editorial process is invaluable, and as publishers, we seek to recognize the efforts of reviewers.


Getting recognition when you peer review with Wiley journals


  • Build your profile on Web of Science Reviewer Recognition Services (formerly Publons)
    Publons records your reviewer activity as a measurable research output, and ensures that you get credit each time you complete a peer review.
  • Make sure you register for an ORCID iD and link it to your Publons account
    You can opt-in to have Publons automatically export your review history to your ORCID profile.
  • Claim Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits for your review activity

    When reviewing for select Wiley Journals in the health sciences, you can elect to receive CME credits approved by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME).

  • Get your Reviewer Recognition Certificate after you review (available from over 1000 Wiley journals)
  • Give credit to anyone who helps you with your review: The Web of Science Reviewer Recognition service allows reviewers to share credit for their reviews. Choose “agree with co-reviewer” if you plan to work on this review with another researcher or if you want to give credit to a student who will help with the review. Once a review is added to the Web of Science Reviewer Recognition service, the reviewer can add collaborators via the review’s “Progress” page.
