For the plugin to work correctly the journal should be an official partner of our Reviewer Recognition Service (please see information about purchasing this service here) and be registered at https://publons.com. Then the corresponding registration data should be entered in the appropriate fields on the plugin page "Connection": Settings > Website > Plugins > Generic Plugins > Publons.
When the plugin is enabled, a button “Send your review to Publons” will be present on "Completed" tab after the reviewer has submitted their review. After the reviewer has clicked on this button and confirmed they want to send their review to Publons, the review data is sent to Publons automatically and reviewer receives an invitation to claim it (or it is automatically added if reviewer has profile with Publons and opted in to automatically add reviews from partnered journals). The Publons website certifies only the fact the reviewer has completed peer review for the current journal. The text of the review can be disclosed on Publons website only after publication of the article and if both the publication author and journal allow it. To disclose the text of the review, the reviewer should input the DOI of the published article on Publons.
