Reviewer Recognition

ASM is participating in a pilot program with Publons to provide recognition to peer reviewers of 12 participating ASM journals. This allows researchers to create comprehensive reviewer profiles on Publons and add verified peer review information to their resumes without breaking reviewer confidentiality. More information on the Publons-ASM partnership and how it works can be found here: https://publons.com/in/asm.

If you have any questions or feedback that you would like to share with us related to this pilot program, please reach out to us at journalreviewers{at}asmusa.org.
