About The Company
Publons was founded by Andrew Preston and Daniel Johnston in 2012 to address the static state of peer-reviewing practices in scholarly communication, with a view to encourage collaboration and speed up scientific development
The Publons name is an homage to the "publon", the "minimum unit of publishable material".
Publons is a limited liability company registered in New Zealand and in the United Kingdom. We recoup our costs by partnering with publishers. These partnerships allow reviews performed for cooperating journals to be automatically added to Publons profiles.
