Overview

Sage utilizes the Web of Science Reviewer Recognition Service (formerly Publons) that enables you to quickly and easily receive recognition for the work you have completed. This free service enables you to effortlessly record, verify, and showcase your peer review contributions. The service records the number of papers you have reviewed for a journal while maintaining reviewer anonymity in accordance with each journal’s review policy.

How can I get recognition for my reviewing activities?

If you have been asked to review for a journal that is integrated with the Web of Science Reviewer Recognition Service:

• You can opt-in to receive recognition when you submit your review.
• You’ll receive an email inviting you to set up a profile and claim your review.
• You can choose the ‘auto-add' option in your profile, meaning your reviews for this and any other integrated journals will automatically be added to your Publons profile in the future, with no further action required.

If you wish to review recognition for a review you have already completed: 

• Set up a Web of Science Researcher profile.
• You can manually add any reviews completed throughout your career by forwarding your reviewer receipt email to reviews@webofscience.com or filling out the online form from your account. For detailed instructions, please visit the Web of Science 'How to add my Publisher-invited reviews' help page. 
• You can learn more about the Web of Science Researcher profile here.

If you wish to receive reviewer certificate from Sage, which is confirmation signed directly by the journal itself:

• Forward either the Sage Track email you received confirming your role as a reviewer or your Web of Science CV to EditorialSupport@Sagepub.com
• Your Web of Science CV can be accessed from the Web of Science private dashboard by selecting 'Expert Web of Science CV' from the menu. For detailed instructions, please visit the Web of Science 'Export your profile as a CV' help page.
• Our Editorial Support team will then validate your request and send out a reviewer certificate pending validation.
