Recognizing peer review via
the next generation of Web of Science Researcher
Profiles
LONDON, Sept. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Clarivate
Plc (NYSE: CLVT), a global leader in providing trusted
information and insights to accelerate the pace of
innovation, today celebrates Peer Review Week with the
announcement of new services for authors to better track their peer
review activity. This includes academic publications, citation
metrics and journal editing, now all in one place within
the newly launched Web of Science™ Researcher Profiles.
Academics worldwide seek to ensure the integrity of the
scientific and wider research literature by providing peer review
and assessment of work in their fields of expertise. This (mostly)
unpaid service underpins the entire system of research and
discovery. Some estimates place the time for every peer review
completed at between a few hours and a day, which means that
recognition for peer reviewers is crucial to provide credit for
reviewers' contribution to the scholarly record.
Clarivate recently launched the next generation of Web of
Science™ Researcher Profiles to incorporate the best features of
Publons and ResearcherID, creating a one-stop destination for
researchers to manage their academic profile and demonstrate their
expertise, including in peer review.
Chris Burghardt, Senior Vice
President, Product at Clarivate said: "In recent weeks we have seen
researcher profile page views in the Web of Science increase by
nearly 320%, raising the profiles of individual researchers and
their work to the community. Peer review is a vital part of this
work and we want to ensure it receives the recognition it
deserves.
"Clarivate is exploring how open peer review content from other
peer review and preprint systems can flow into the Web of Science,
alongside the published article. The vision is for peer reviews to
become a standard and discoverable part of the scholarly record
across all disciplines."
In addition, new insights from the Institute for Scientific
Information investigates articles in the Web of Science
displaying Transparent Peer Reviews.

editing work in one place to demonstrate expertise throughout their

researchers' work).
