PLOS collaborates with ORCID to include credit for reviewers PLOS has announced that its collaboration with ORCID now includes credit for reviewers. For more than five years, PLOS authors have used ORCID to make their professional lives easier. Now reviewers at PLOS can take advantage of the same benefits to track their contributions, claim credit, and build up their research profiles. Reviewers can now enter their ORCID iD in the Editorial Manager submission system for all PLOS journals and automatically get credit when they complete a review, the same way they would for their published articles.
