EGM on Reviewer Recognition Platform
Did you know that European Geriatric Medicine, is one of 670 included in the “Reviewer Recognition’ platform”?
This initiative allows for reviewers to access their personal review profile page showing both their ‘Reviewer Status’ and review history in connection to those Elsevier journals they have reviewed for. Going forward reviewers for EGM are awarded a status, on a monthly basis, based on the number of reviews they have completed for the journal.
Reviewers are awarded one of two statuses per journal title:
- Recognized reviewer – reviewers who have completed at least one review over a 2 year period
- Outstanding reviewer – reviewers in the top 10th percentile, based on the total number of completed reviews.
Reviewers will also be able to collect initiatives such as, badges, certificates and discounts or share the public view of their profile on social media. On a monthly basis, reviewers will be sent an email including an encrypted deep link to the platform where they can check their status and collect their rewards.
The above is an example of the features of the ‘Reviewer Recognition’ platform. When a review has been completed, reviewers receive an email providing them with a direct link to their Elsevier review profile on the platform. Reviewers find the Platform a valuable initiative. They have given the platform a score of 8.3 out of 10. More than 68% of respondents found the information contained in their profile useful and more than 41% mentioned they plan to share their profile and status with others (their department head, colleagues, followers and friends on their social media channels, etc.). The journal also received a number of novel ideas and suggestions from reviewers about how to target rewards and further recognize their efforts.
