A reviewers input to the editorial process is invaluable, and as publishers, we seek to recognize the efforts of reviewers. Here are five ways to get recognition when you peer review for a journal published by Wiley.
Web of Science Reviewer Recognition Services (formerly Publons) credits reviewers for their work, allowing you to record, verify, and showcase your contributions even if reviews are anonymous or manuscripts are unpublished.
Simply opt-in via the questionnaire when reviewing for participating Wiley journals. Once completed, your review details automatically transfer to your profile.
We protect reviewer anonymity and adhere to journal policies. Typically, only the review year and journal title are visible on profiles, keeping comments confidential unless both the journal and reviewer consent. Journals in our Transparent Peer Review service may display review content publicly. You can adjust privacy settings or opt out anytime.
You can opt-in to have Web of Science Reviewer Recognition Services automatically export your review history to your ORCID profile. Once set up, every verified review added to your Web of Science record will automatically be exported to your ORCID profile with a link back to the record on Web of Science. Web of Science transmits this data securely and makes sure not to compromise reviewer anonymity or infringe on journal policies.
If you review for select Wiley Journals in the health sciences, you can choose to receive CME credits approved by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME).
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. Visit Web of Science support for more information.
Over 1,000 of our journals annually provide personalized certificates recognizing your peer review contributions. Contact your chosen journal for more information.
