Yes, it is useful. As an early career researcher, I find it useful to keep track of the articles I have reviewed. It is easy to retrieve the record when I am required to submit it to funding organisations and other assessors.
Thank you very much Dr. Han Ping Fung and Dr. Emeka W. Dumbili for your valuable responses.
I have recently been to publon and find it very interesting. it basically credits you based on your reviews (pre and post pugblication reviews).
They sent me one article. The article was having many basic mistakes. I send the details of such mistakes. The corrected article was resubmitted. Afterwards it was accepted. They send me one certificate for this.
Just would like to note that Elsevier has recently launched a somewhat similar service for referees for its own journals

Thank you Dr. Shibabrata Pattanayak . The acknowledgement message from the journal after review can be forwarded to Publons.
I find it useful as a reviewer to keep track of review records. Also, as an author, it helps to look up potential reviewers in a field when it is a requirement for the journal to which you wish to submit your paper.
I have recently joined Publons and I find it very useful in designing a uniform systematic way to conduct a review. The fact that you receive some recognition for the work you do is a plus.
How many of you have been asked to submit reviews by Publons and have done so?
