Publons has honored the Top Peer Reviewers of 2019 and we are proud to announce that Dr. M. R. Kavianpour, Associate professor of the Faculty of Civil Engineering is among the top 1% of reviewers in Cross-Field, as one of the 22 Essential Science Indicators (ESI) research fields. Rankings are calculated by number of verified pre-publication reviews performed and added to Publons between  Sep. 1, 2018 and Sep. 1, 2019.

Publons was launched in 2012 as a free service for academics to track, verify, and administer their peer review and editorial contributions for academic journals. Publons‘ mission is to speed up science by harnessing the power of peer review. By turning peer review into a measurable research output, academics can use their review and editorial record as evidence of their influence in their field. The other important function of Publons is speeding up research by helping editors find skilled and motivated peer reviewers, and tackling issues such as peer review fraud. Publons was acquired by Clarivate Analytics in 2017 and continues to run as a stand-alone business.
