WebmedCentral (WMC) recognises scientific reviewers for their selfless contribution. Traditionally reviewers’ efforts have not been openly acknowledged as reviews happen behind closed doors before the manuscript is published. We aim to encourage reviewers by acknowledging their effort openly. All our reviews are visible online in keeping with our approach to complete transparency in biomedical scientific communications. Authors then have the opportunity to respond to the criticism or submit a modified manuscript.

We are working to create a vibrant comunity of academicians and reviewers on our portal who will participate in and support the post publication debate on every published work. Our post publication peer review system uses multiple tiers of reviewers. We have now got a full team of hundreds of advisors and faculty to assist us with the process.In addition, we rely upon our scholarly reviewers, author suggested reviewers, reviewers who have registered with our Reviewers Database, and other external reviewers invited by the lead faculty in that specialty. Please engage with the post publication debate if you like this model of publishing. We aim to incentivise reviewers by publishing all reviews and making them citable, thus acknowledging the scientific contribution they make. We further encourage reviewers by making sure all the reviews they carry out are freely available in pubic domain for readers. Reviewers can also publish their reviews on research published in other journals. Moreover, in near future, reviewers will be able to publish one article for free on WMC for every 2 reviews they carry out and on plus, for every 6 reviews they carry out.

In near future, WebmedCentral Lead Faculties will be in charge of post publication peer review process on the portal. At the same time, users will be able to clearly identify peer reviewed sections on our portal. Articles of suitable quality will be considered for publication on plus.
