What do you think about "The first metric for peer reviewers"?

10 October 2016 1 9K Report

I got an email today, where 2 Italians are promoting "Reviewer Score - the first metric describing your activity as a peer reviewer". I visited their website, and have very dull picture of the activity. However - it is just beginning.

So, let us discuss :)

Matt Colloff

It sounds a bit similar to SciRev https://scirev.sc/ which is mainly about the quality of the scientific review process with particular journals and helping you find an efficient journal for submitting your manuscripts. Personally I don't see a lot of point in generating an individual score for reviewers unless it is tied to the broader context of the scientific publication process as SciRev have done.

I myself see advantages and disadvantages of live-trapping. In many countries there is no regulation as for killing traps for small mammals (up to rat size). So, I am curious, what do others think?
