Like many academics, I regularly engage with the reviewing process of renowned conferences and journals. I have not ventured into any substantial editorial role yet but I try to help out as much as possible. Any of my journal review activities are registered on Publons to keep a record (mainly for myself). It is to my surprise that I received the Publon’s Peer Review Awards 2018 as the “Top 1% of reviewers in Computer Science”. I know many people will see this as a “gimmick”, but hey, our research communities rely heavily on quality peer reviews from volunteers. Also, an award is an award! 🙂
