Reviewer Hub features

Reviewer Hub offers a range of features to support your work throughout the peer review process:

  • Manage peer review activities On Reviewer Hub, you can find information about your review invitations including the manuscript's abstract, pending reviews, upcoming deadlines, and your review history across Elsevier journals connected to Editorial Manager. You can also see an overview of your invitations to review, and access each journal's Editorial Manager site, where you can accept or decline invitations, and work on assignments.

  • 30-day complimentary access to Scopus, ScienceDirect and Reaxys To thank our reviewers and help facilitate effective peer review, we offer 30 days of complimentary access to Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Reaxys. You can claim this on the "Rewards" section of Reviewer Hub every time you accept an invitation to review, up until six months after agreeing to review.

  • Review certificates On the "Certificates" section of Reviewer Hub, you can download a "Recognized Reviewer" certificate for all Elsevier journals for which you have reviewed.

  • Review history reports On the "Reports" sections of Reviewer Hub, you can generate a customized reviewer report, listing all completed reviews within a set period. This can be particularly useful to include on CVs.

  • Scopus profile On the "Scopus Profile" section of Reviewer Hub you can claim and connect your Scopus Profile to make sure your research profile in Reviewer Hub is always up to date. This will increase your visibility to our editors, for example when you have volunteered to review. If the connected profile(s) are not the right ones, you can disconnect them on this page(opens in new tab/window).

  • Volunteer to review The "Volunteer to review" section on Reviewer Hub allows you to indicate interest to review for any Elsevier journal that is connected to Editorial Manager. Upon volunteering, you need to provide your research classifications (if the journal has a classification list) and your Scopus ID(opens in new tab/window) so that editors will be able to assess your suitability. Editors will see reviewers that have volunteered to review via Reviewer Hub in Editorial Manager's Find Reviewers tool so they can be easily invited.
