Reviewer Credits and Pensoft Join Forces
to Enhance Peer Review Transparency and Recognition

Reviewer Credits, the Berlin-based network for peer reviewers and publishing integrity hub, is pleased to announce a new partnership with Pensoft, an independent academic publishing company known worldwide for ist innovative open access publishing tools, workflows, and technologically advanced platforms specialized in text and data publishing of journals, books, and conference materials. The partnership also encompasses ARPHA, Pensoft's platform that supports the entire scholarly publishing workflow with cutting-edge semantic tagging, collaborative manuscript authoring, and transparent peer review.

"This partnership between Reviewer Credits and Pensoft/ARPHA represents a significant step forward in recognizing and rewarding the vital contributions of peer reviewers, enhancing transparency, and strengthening the integrity of scholarly publishing for the entire research community” said Sven Fund, Managing Director at Reviewer Credits, “This collaborative approach not only incentivizes reviewers by formally documenting their efforts and providing tangible recognition, but also democratizes participation in peer review—empowering researchers at every career stage to contribute meaningfully, build networks, and advance standards of transparency and accountability within the global research community”.

“Our partnership with Reviewer Credits is important for recognising and rewarding the contribution of our reviewers.” said Prof. Lyubomir Penev, Founder and CEO of Pensoft, “Good reviewers are essential for ensuring the publication of quality science. In the past, their role has been overlooked, and collaborations like this are important steps towards changing that.”
