• Publons integration? Could be cool to link the publons profile and populate the database with the number of reviews already done and for which journals?

• [real] ORCID integration

I’d simplify the text a lot more, just feels like a lot to ask a busy prof to read. I’m thinking something like large bulleted points addressed to editors and researchers like:

For Editors:

Diversify your peer-review, recruit trusted Early Career Reviewers.
Trusted ECRs are endorsed by leading scientists in x different fields.
999 trusted ECRs and counting!
For Researchers:

Endorse a talented ECR in your network
Get on the map by requesting an endorsement from a senior scientist

(Needs some work, just off the top of my head)

And then have a more detailed rationale with graphics on the About page.

I’m terrible with names but TrustedReviewers seems good to me.

Some suggestions for the form (sure you’ve thought of some of these already):

• A dropdown for the endorser to classify the endorsee’s general field(s) of research (could start with the list of eLife’s subject areas). Allow selecting multiple fields.

• Space for inputing keywords with prediction for a preset list.

• Endorser relationship to endorsee: either a dropdown (PhD advisor, collaborator, supervisor, Department Head, Other) or a blank field.

• ORCID would be good to have.

• Character limit on the Why question? I like having this as a short piece of text. I’m imagining an editor using the database would first filter by field and keywords and then want to get some more context on the filtered reviewers by reading the comment here…

• We could consider embedding this in ECRLife (on Ghost), it would make design easier?
  P.S. Journalists have kind of a similar service called MuckRack, a database of trusted journalists for PR managers to use. Just in case you find some inspiration there (https://muckrack.com/ 1).
