Contribution Points

PeerJ wouldn't be possible without the volunteer contributions made by the research community.

When Contributors reach certain points totals they receive an award that recognizes their contributions to PeerJ and Open Science.

5,000 points = Bronze

Open reviewers

No peer-reviewed journal could exist without its reviewers. This is often a major contribution within academia that goes unseen. At the same time we believe more transparency will improve how we do research.

To date ~80% of all PeerJ articles have published their reviews and >40% of referees choose to sign a named review. To further encourage named reviews, any open reviewer is awarded 35 contribution points.
