Peer Review Awards

Honouring the contributions of reviewers to research and science.


Welcome to Peer Review Week 2017

Publons is proud to announce the winners of this years' Publons Peer Review Awards, honoring the top reviewers across all the world’s journals!

Peer reviewers are the unsung guardians of science and research, keeping watch over the quality and integrity of scholarly communication. Our awards recognize both the quantity and quality of their valuable contributions to scholarly communication over the past year.

This year, we also recognise one individual, group or organization for their contributions to peer review through the Sentinel Award. Scroll down to read more.
