Reviewer recognition

Peer review is hard work, yet it rarely receives recognition commensurate with its value and importance.

Reviewers' list

The list of reviewers who delivered at least one review during the previous calendar year is automatically published on the TSR web page here.

Reviewer acknowledgement in published papers

Traffic Safety Research acknowledges the contributions of handling editors and reviewers in every published article. The publication of a paper does not necessarily mean that it was recommended by all reviewers. Each review is considered alongside feedback from other reviewers and the editor's own assessment of the paper. Occasionally, the editor's decision may differ from the recommendation made by one or more reviewers. Reviewer acknowledgements therefore reflect the fact that the reviewers provided valuable feedback that contributed to the editorial decision.

Review registration with ORCID

Each review is automatically ‘pushed’ to the reviewer's ORCID profile. Only the fact that the review was submitted is registered; no review text is shared.

For this to work, it is important that reviewers connect their ORCID iD to their TSR user profile. The step-by-step instructions for that can be found here.

Important note on reviews registered with the Reviewer Credits platform

Between 2022 and 2026, Traffic Safety Research offered reviewers the opportunity to register reviews on the Reviewer Credits platform. We greatly valued this partnership, and more than 400 reviews were registered over the years. Unfortunately, in September 2026, Reviewer Credits announced that it would cease operations and that the platform would close down soon.

We urge all TSR reviewers to to download their review certificates from Reviewer Credits as soon as possible. It is also possible to ‘push’ Reviewer Credits registrations to your ORCID profile. To do this, you need to log in to your Reviewer Credits account.
