IDSA journals launch Reviewer Recognition & Rewards program

Reviewers of 3+ papers in 1 IDSA journal in a yr get waived page charges in CID/JID, or 20% discount on OA fees

Top 3 reviewers (per J) get “Reviewer of the Year” distinction & IDWeek registration

academic.oup.com/idsa/pages/i... #IDSky
Rewards for Frequent Reviewers All reviewers who complete at least three reviews of appropriate quality and timeliness for one IDSA journal in a calendar year will be rewarded the following calendar year with their choice of either free page charges in CID or JID, or a 20% discount on open access fees in any IDSA journal. These rewards can be claimed with any IDSA journal, not just the journal where the reviews were performed. In addition, we are including our top 100 most frequent reviewers from 2020-2023 for the launch of this rewards program as a small way to thank the ID community for all of the time and energy they poured into review for the IDSA journals during the height of the COVID pandemic. Recognition for Top Reviewers Each journal will recognize its best reviewers, selected based on number of reviews completed, timeliness and review quality, with recognition letters each quarter. In addition, the top three reviewers from each journal will be recognized with a "Reviewer of the Year" award. Our Reviewers of the Year will receive paid registration to IDWeek and will be invited to attend the IDSA Editor's Reception at IDWeek, in addition to recognition in the MyIDSA Community, IDSA News, our journal social media channels, and elsewhere.
