TRANSCRIPT
Hi there. I am John Bond from Riverwinds Consulting and this is Publishing Defined.
Today I am going to talk Publons.
Publons is a service used by academics that allows them to track, verify, and showcase their peer review for scholarly journals. Publons' mission is to "speed up science by harnessing the power of peer review".
Publons provides a verified record of an academic’s review and editorial activity for journals. In addition, it provides: tools for publishers to find, screen and contact potential peer reviewers; data about peer review; training for researchers new to review; and a venue for academics to discuss published research.
Reviewers can choose whether or not to make their review open access after publication if the journal is in agreement.
Publons was launched in 2012 by Andrew Preston and Daniel Johnston to address the moribund state of peer-reviewing practices in publishing, by encouraging speeding scientific development. Publons was acquired by Clarivate Analytics in 2017. That year, Publons won the ALPSP Innovation in Publishing Award.
As of 2018, Publons states it has over 400,000 researchers, 2 million reviews, for over 25,000 Journals. Publons also offers Publons Academy, which is a review training course for newbie researchers. The course is free, as is the Publons service to academics. Publishers are charged a fee to use their services.
Publons claims by using its service, academics can help advance in individual evaluations, such as performance reviews or with promotions and salary. It can also assist with funding, grant applications, and even green card applications.
To many, Publons has been a welcome addition to peer review, which many feel needs to move forward into the 21st century.
Well that’s it. I am a publishing consultant and work with associations, publishers, and individuals on a host of content related challenges. Reach out to me at RiverwindsConsulting.com with your questions.
