Background The five Central Asian republics comprise of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Their research and publication activities are gradually improving but there is limited data on how good their peer reviewing practices are. Methods We have use the Publons database to extract information on the reviewers registered including the number of verified review, Publons award winners, and top universities in the domain of peer reviewing. This has been analysed overall and country wise. Results Of 15,764 researchers registered on Publons, only 370 (11.7%) have verified records of peer-reviewing. There are 8 Publons award winners. There is great heterogeneity in the number of active reviewers across the five countries. Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan account for more than 90% of verified reviewers. Only Kazakhstan has more than 100 active reviewers and 6 Publons award recipients. Amongst the top 20 reviewers from Central Asia, half of them are from the Nazarbayev University, Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan. Three countries have less than 10 universities registered on Publons. Conclusion Central Asia has a good number of peer reviewers on Publons though only a minority of researchers are involved in peer reviewing. However, the heterogeneity between the nations can be best dealt with by promoting awareness and international networking including e-learning and mentoring programs.

There has been a remarkable shift in the ways and means of knowledge exchange in recent times, with an exponential increase in sharing information online while braving widespread lockdowns amid a raging pandemic. 1 The widespread use of social media (SoMe) among the youth (up to 70% in some surveys) opens the case for building an online community for collaborative learning with a global outreach. 2Digitalization of medicine has ushered in an era of e-meetings, online mentoring, and e-collaborations, lending a unique enthusiasm and dynamics to an entire generation of scholars. [3][4][5] Trending scientific information on #MedTwitter and #AcademicTwitter have made the conventional learning models less impactful, especially during the pandemic, which made physical presence an exception to the norm. However, these adaptive measures may be here to stay after the situation returns to normal. 6

“…Central Asian researchers are mostly optimistic over the uses of Internet platforms and social media for scholarly purposes. However, they are also concerned over the privacy issues and local restrictive regulations [6,28]. The active scholarly use of online platforms and social media may not only boost altmetrics, but also improve Central Asian users' online presence and influence.…”

The quality and impact of scholarly articles are traditionally evaluated using metrics that put citation counts at the center. In the era of digitization, advanced online platforms and social media have transformed the dissemination of scientific information results and introduced new metrics for evaluating the influence of scholarly outputs and planning research studies. Alternative metrics (altmetrics) have emerged as tools for immediate measuring of scholarly outputs upon their online publication and dissemination through numerous online platforms, including social media channels. The Altmetrtic Attention Score by Altmetric.com has gained its global importance as an integral indicator for evaluation of constantly changing societal influence of individual articles. To a large extent, this and other social media metrics complement established citation metrics, allowing to visualize and predict implications at early stages of post-publication promotion. This article overviews characterstics of various altmetric tools and their growing roles for planning and evaluating scientific research.
