Abstract:

[Purposes] This paper analyzes the characteristics of active reviewers in the medical field of Publons and their review characteristics, aiming to provide empirical references for editors of English medical journals to select reviewers based on online searching tools. [Methods] The SPSS 21.0 statistical software was used to analyze the professional and geographic distribution of the top 250 reviewers in the medical field of Publons, metrology indicators of the reviewers including reviews, publications, and citations, and the level of review journals. [Findings] The global distribution of reviewers and the number of verified reviews in medicine journals are inappropriate. The academic stage of reviewers is diverse, and some reviewers only review papers from Web of Science indexed journals. Positive correlations are found among the number of papers published by a reviewer both as a group member author and as the first author, citation frequencies, and h index and the number of verified reviews and the number of verified reviews during the past 12 months. Total verified reviews are positively correlated with reviews during the past 12 months. [Conclusions] Editors of medical journals should increase the diversity of reviewers, and invite reviewers with different academic backgrounds to review, in order to ensure high standards of data processing, statistical analysis, and results interpretation of the published papers. Meanwhile, only good quality papers should be sent for peer review after editorial review, and the reviewer who is suitable for the journal's level and is active in publications and reviews is selected as journal reviewer.
