Academic publishing involves pre-publication peer review to assess the quality, rigor, and novelty of submitted research. There are three main types of pre-publication review: single-blind, double-blind, and open review. Post-publication review allows for subsequent appraisal of published work and its impact and relevance. Publons is a platform that facilitates recording of pre- and post-publication reviews to build reviewer profiles and connect reviewers with journal editors.
