Reviewer Recognition

At Terra Alimentaria, we recognize that peer review is an essential component of the scholarly publication process. We deeply value the time, expertise, and dedication our reviewers invest in maintaining the scientific integrity of our journal. To reward these vital contributions, we offer several official methods of reviewer recognition.

1. External Researcher Databases

Our platform supports integration with major global researcher databases, allowing you to build your academic profile seamlessly:

• ORCID Integration: By connecting your ORCID iD to your user profile in our portal, your peer review contributions can be automatically pushed to your public ORCID record once a review is completed and verified.
• Web of Science Reviewer Recognition: You can easily track your verified review credit on your Web of Science (formerly Publons) researcher profile. Once your review is complete, you will receive a formal "Review Acknowledgement" email from our editorial system. Simply forward that email to reviews@webofscience.com from your registered email address, and the credit will be added to your profile.

2. Official Certificates of Review

We understand that tangible proof of peer review activity is highly valuable for academic promotion, tenure dossiers, and professional development.

• Downloadable Certificates: Upon the successful completion and editorial acknowledgement of your review, you can download a personalized, official PDF Reviewer Certificate directly from your reviewer dashboard.
• Formal Email Acknowledgement: Every completed review is followed by a formal acknowledgement email from the editorial team, which serves as an additional record of your scholarly contribution.

3. Public Journal Acknowledgement

Highlighting our reviewers publicly builds community and reinforces our commitment to rigorous scientific standards.

• Annual Reviewer List: At the close of each volume, Terra Alimentaria publishes a dedicated acknowledgement article listing the names and affiliations of all researchers who contributed their expertise as reviewers that year.
• Editorial Board Invitations: We actively track reviewer performance regarding timeliness, thoroughness, and constructive feedback. Consistently outstanding reviewers are regularly recognized and considered for promotion to our Editorial Advisory Board.

4. Submission Discount Vouchers

As a tangible token of our gratitude, reviewers receive financial discounts on future manuscript submissions.

• 10% Discount per Review: For every completed and verified review, you will be issued a voucher for 10% off your next submission.
• Accumulate and Combine: Vouchers can be stacked. Completing multiple reviews allows you to combine your 10% vouchers to achieve a larger total discount on a single manuscript submission.
• Validity Period: Each voucher remains valid for two years from its date of issue, providing ample time to apply your rewards toward your upcoming research publications.
