Reviewing is real scholarly labour, and Scholardemia keeps a record of it. This article explains what is recorded when you complete a review, who can see it, and what recognition looks like today.
What is recorded
Each journal you review for keeps a reviewer record for you: invitations accepted and declined, reviews completed, and how promptly they arrived. Editors use this track record when choosing whom to invite, so reliable reviewing is rewarded with the thing reviewers value most, being asked for work that fits and trusted with interesting manuscripts.
Who can see it
- Editorial teams see your reviewer record for their journal.
- Authors do not see your identity under double-blind review, and your reviews themselves stay confidential to the editorial process.
- Your public profile does not currently display review counts or reviewer badges. If you want to cite your reviewing publicly, list the journals you review for in your profile bio.
Certificates
Conference and event organisers can issue reviewer-recognition certificates to the people who reviewed submissions for their programme. If you reviewed for an event and would like one, ask the organisers, since certificates are issued by them rather than generated automatically.
