Who reviews for whom: mapping the global reviewer economy
Author
Abstract
Reviewer effort flows persistently from a broad base of institutions toward a narrow set of high-prestige journals. The analysis draws on a corpus assembled from institutional repositories, preprint servers and publisher metadata feeds, and the full dataset together with the code needed to reproduce every figure is deposited under a permissive licence. Limitations, including coverage gaps in non-English sources, are set out in the discussion.
