Andrew Preston, Managing Director, Publons

Publons builds thriving reviewer communities and turns peer review into a measurable and rewarding activity for researchers. This service has seen rapid uptake from publishers, with more than 1,300 journals now integrated into the platform, which is now used by 180k+ researchers. Join co-founder Andrew Preston for an update on what Publons has been doing to drive transparency and efficiency in peer review since they joined Clarivate Analytics in June. He will recap the issues in peer review raised in his recent Scientific American op-ed, give an update on Peer Review Week (including an introduction to the inaugural winner of the Sentinel award for outstanding advocacy, contribution, or innovation in scholarly peer review), demo the Publons Reviewer Recognition service and touch on future plans to drive transparency and efficiency in peer review.

Don Sechler, Research Discovery Proposition Manager, Clarivate Analytics

The partnership between Clarivate Analytics and Impactstory will leverage their corpus of open access content to provide Web of Science users with dramatically improved access to legal open access content. The initial focus will be on improving access to Gold, Hybrid, and peer reviewed Green OA content from reliable sources. In Web of Science, users will be guided to the best open copy, which will drive traffic to Hybrid, delayed OA, and other previously hard to identify open content hosted on publishers’ sites. Furthermore, Web of Science metadata enriched with OA status information will serve as the basis for advanced analytics in the Journal Citation Reports and InCites. This will help publishers track how their content is being made open and the success of their Open Access initiatives. In today’s session, the Web of Science product team will discuss the nature of the integration and demonstrate how the OA content types will be identified for Web of Science users as well as discuss some of the future directions regarding the OA analytics as they are developed for Journal Citation Reports and InCites.
