Publons Commercial Website
Publons is a commercial website that provides a free service for academics to track, verify, and showcase their peer review and editorial contributions for academic journals. It was launched in 2012 and was bought by Clarivate in 2017. It claims that over 200,000 researchers have joined the site, adding more than one million reviews across 25,000 journals.[1][2][3] In 2019, ResearcherID was integrated with Publons.[4]

Publons produces a verified record of a person's review and editorial activity for journals, which can be downloaded to include in CVs, funding and job applications, and promotion and performance evaluations.[5] Publons' business model is based on partnering with publishers.
In today’s highly competitive research environment, researchers are frequently asked to demonstrate their impact and service in performance reviews, funding and promotion applications.

Keeping track of this impact isn't easy and takes up valuable time. That’s why we’ve brought the power of Web of Science to Publons — making it quick and easy for researchers to track and demonstrate a more complete record of their impact as a cited author, journal editor, and peer reviewer, in one place.

Publons is powered by integrations with the Web of Science, ORCiD and thousands of scholarly journals to provide industry-leading, trustworthy information so you can show the world more of your research impact.
