REVIEWER RECOGNITION

Reviewer recognition

At Global Pharmaceutical Sciences Review (GPSR), we deeply value the vital role that reviewers play in maintaining the quality, integrity, and academic rigor of our journal. The Reviewer Recognition section is designed to acknowledge the significant contributions of our reviewers and to provide them with meaningful appreciation for their efforts. 

Each year, GPSR publishes a formal acknowledgment of all reviewers who have contributed their time and expertise to the peer review process. This list is made available both in print and online to publicly recognize their efforts. Reviewers’ names are listed in the journal’s annual report and on the journal’s website to celebrate their contributions to the academic community.

Reviewers who complete multiple reviews or provide exceptional feedback are awarded personalized certificates of appreciation. These certificates serve as official recognition of the reviewer’s hard work and commitment to upholding scholarly standards.

Editors will issue certificates to reviewers annually, which can be included in their professional portfolios as a testament to their service.

Each year, GPSR identifies top-performing reviewers based on the quality and timeliness of their reviews. These reviewers are honored with a Top Reviewer Award, which is highlighted on the journal’s website and included in a special recognition section in the journal.

Editors evaluate reviewers based on their detailed feedback, contribution to the review process, and adherence to deadlines.

Reviewers who consistently provide high-quality reviews are offered opportunities for professional development. This includes invitations to participate in editorial workshops, webinars, and roundtables focusing on the peer review process and academic publishing trends.

Editors will invite top reviewers to training events where they can enhance their reviewing skills and learn about advancements in scholarly publishing.

Reviewers who have provided a certain number of reviews or who have received high evaluations from the editors may be awarded digital badges. These badges can be displayed on professional profiles, such as LinkedIn or academic networking platforms, to highlight their role in the peer review process.

Editors will distribute these badges to reviewers as part of the journal’s recognition program and encourage their use in professional settings.
