Academic experience on ScholarOne: Why do we want this information?
IOP Publishing Limited is committed to inclusivity within peer review and, as such, we periodically measure and report on the experience levels of our author and reviewer groups. We may use this personal data as part of training and development programmes for our authors and reviewers and for selecting reviewers for our content. Where we have your consent to do so, we may also use that personal data to ensure that the information that we send to you about our products and services is relevant and of interest. You can choose not to tell us your experience level by selecting “Prefer not to say”, in which case your response will not be included in any reports we prepare on experience levels.
Personal data regarding experience levels are not considered in any way when considering manuscripts for publication. For more information on how we use your personal data, please see our Privacy Policy.
