Abstract

The peer-review process stands as a pivotal mechanism for impartially assessing articles. Nevertheless, mounting concerns arise regarding waning interest among potential reviewers in appraising manuscripts. This phenomenon arises partly from academic institutions neglecting review engagement as an evaluative criterion for professional advancement. Furthermore, journals offer no monetary incentives for reviewing articles, compounding the disincentive. Methods: To investigate the association between reviewer activity and publication success in psychiatry, we analyzed data from the top 100 reviewers using publicly available data from Publons, retrieved as of May 20th. We conducted a Pearson correlation analysis to examine the relationship between the number of reviews and the total number of published articles. Results: Our analysis revealed a statistically significant, albeit weak, correlation between reviewer activity and total published articles in psychiatry (r=0.25).
