News Roundup: Publons Data in Altmetric Details Pages | Altmetric.com

Summary:
Upon publication, each review can be endorsed by Publons members – those with enough endorsements are assigned a DOI, meaning that reviewers can add their contributions to their own publication record and get credit for their time and input. At top level, the drive comes from the desire for more open, transparent peer-review, and the opportunity for greater debate amongst the community. A detailed paper (and discussion) describing some of the early ideas behind the creation of Publons can be found in Publon #1, the first paper to be listed and reviewed on the Publons platform. Following the January integration, reviews posted on Publons will appear in a new tab within corresponding Altmetric article details pages. Reviews within the new tab (see screenshot) will contribute to the Altmetric score and donut visualisation."
