- This study explores the relationship between the peer-review activity and the bibliometric performance of scholars registered in the Publons peer review tracking website. It explores which researchers (according to discipline, academic status and gender) make most of the reviews and which of them accept most of the papers, assuming that these are reasonable proxies for reviewing quality. Bibliometric indicators for the most active users were also extracted from Google Scholar and we found a weak correlation between both types of indicators. A decision tree analysis suggests that established male academics made most of reviews, while young female scholars are the most demanding reviewers. These results could help editors to select good reviewers as well as opening up a new source of data for scientometrics analysis.
