Reviewer Recognition at ICRP: Integrating ORCID, Web of Science (WoS), and ReviewerCredits

At ICRP, we understand the invaluable contribution of peer reviewers to the integrity and quality of academic publishing. To acknowledge this crucial work, we've developed a comprehensive reviewer recognition program that integrates with ORCID, Web of Science (WoS), and ReviewerCredits, offering our reviewers tangible benefits and visibility for their contributions.

ORCID Integration

What is ORCID?
ORCID provides a unique identifier to academic authors and contributors, enabling them to get credit for their work beyond publication. It ensures that researchers' contributions, including peer reviews, are accurately attributed to them.

How ICRP Integrates with ORCID:

  • Review Recognition: After completing a review for an ICRP journal, reviewers have the option to add the review to their ORCID record, showcasing their contribution to the peer review process.
  • Simplified Process: Reviewers can connect their ORCID iD with their ICRP profile, making it easier to manage and track their reviews and publications in one place.

Web of Science (WoS) Recognition

What is WoS?
Web of Science is a premier global citation database that acknowledges academic contributions, including publications and citations. Recently, it has started recognizing peer reviews as part of a researcher's academic output.

ICRP's Engagement with WoS:

  • Reviewer Recognition: Reviews completed for ICRP journals are eligible for recognition in the Web of Science’s Reviewer Recognition Service, allowing reviewers to receive credit for their peer review activity.
  • Visibility and Credibility: This recognition helps enhance the visibility and credibility of reviewers within the academic community, reflecting their expertise and contribution to maintaining research quality.
