In the top 10 best peer reviewers for Peerage of Science!

Peerage of Science is a free service for scientific peer review and publishing founded in 2011 by Finnish ecologists Janne Kotiaho, Mikko Mönkkönen, and Janne-Tuomas Seppänen. One of its main purposes is to develop the practice and the evaluation of science.

Anyone having produced a publication as first author can become a peer and review the submitted manuscripts. Peer-reviews are evaluated among reviewers, giving more or less weight on some of the reviewers' suggestions to the manuscript.

In order to further promote the interests of the researchers registered as users of the company’s services, Peerage of Science awards every year The Reviewer Prize, to the best peer reviewer of the preceding year, as determined by performance judged by the evaluation of peer reviews.

Halfway to the final ranking, I had the surprised to be notified by Janne-Tuomas that I made it into the top 10! A nice surprise that adds to the experience I gained in this new reviewing experience. Let's see if I can keep up in the next 6 months :)
