    Peer Review Is a Thankless Task So what motivates the scientists who do it the most? We asked them

    2016-16-09

    SLATE (Available at https://slate.com/technology/2016/09/top-peer-reviewers-are-motivated-by-their-dedication-to-science.html) It turns out the top reviewers themselves might have some suggestions: Hosam Elbaz, the top reviewer in pharmacology, toxicology, and pharmaceutics, suggested via my Google form survey giving peer review more weight in promotions or tenure consideration. Pradeep Muragundi, the winner in the category of health professions, suggested that peer reviewers get credit when a paper they referred is cited, much the same way that researchers do, to incentivize quality work.
