In our inaugural ORCID in the Wild webinar series—which aims to showcase ORCID case studies from around the community—we featured Vanessa Fairhurst, Chad Sansing, and Chris Wilkinson from PREreview, along with special guest Anna Hatch, PhD, from Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
PREreview offers open preprint reviews for all researchers. The platform exists to help systematically disadvantaged scientists engage in peer review to make science and scholarship more equitable, transparent, and collaborative. PREreview recently launched an ORCID integration that gives researchers the ability to link their open preprint reviews to their ORCID records.

Webinar Highlights
- PREreview offers researchers open preprint peer reviews in direct response to key issues within the traditional peer review process.
- PREreview is aligned with ORCID’s values of openness, trust, and inclusion.
- Open – PREreview’s open platform helps it achieve as much transparency as possible and is non-proprietary.
- Trust – Users log into the peer review platform via ORCID, which builds trust with the community and clarity in research contributions.
- Inclusion – Contributions to peer review via PREreview are barrier free, extending the pool of reviewers to those traditionally excluded.
- PREreview has an ORCID auto-update that allows public peer review activity to be added seamlessly to reviewers’ profiles, building recognition and credit for their work.
