There is no argument that reviewers are essential to the
publication process and that peer review is a task that
should be shared across as wide a group as possible to
reduce reviewer burden. There are some advantages for
peer reviewers: they can keep in touch with the new manuscripts
being submitted in their area; reviewing always
hones your own writing; services such as Publons (https://
publons.com/home/) can track your peer review contribution;
and there is the altruistic gain of knowing you are
contributing to the publications of your peers.
