English abstract

The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between the peer-review activity and the bibliometric performance of the scholars registered in Publons website. In addition, this paper wants to know which researchers (according to discipline, academic status and gender) make most reviews and which ones accept most papers, because these metrics could be considered as proxies for reviewing quality. Profiles of the most active users from Publons were analysed and searched in Google Scholar Citation to obtain their bibliometric indicators. Correlations showed that there was a weak relationship between both types of indicators. Decision trees identified that established men academics are those that most reviews made while young women scholars are the most demanding reviewers. The paper concludes that these results could help the selection of good reviewers as well as to open a new exploration path for scientometrics.
