I acted as a reviewer for a paper this year and would like to mention this in my CV. However, I would like the authors not to know that I was the reviewer before some time.

At the moment, I have remained intentionally vague in my CV, mentioning only the journal name and the topic of the article. Is there a way to do better, namely:

• Is it possible to make this review work verifiable? (perhaps by giving the email of the editor?)


• Is it ethical to point to the full published paper in a CV that I don’t intend to distribute widely?

The standard information to give is the journal's name and only this. As far as I recall I have never seen a CV that gives more details than that (mostly I know academic CVs of mathematicians).

I would not go as far as saying that it would be unethical to include more information, but it would seem unusual and the advantage is not very clear.

If you are concerned about the claim not being credible, I'd not worry too much about this. However, some journals and publishers offer certificates for reviewers. See for example this information about reviewer recognition at Elsevier

There may be exceptions to this if you happen to be involved in some very high profile reviewing endeavor, but if you reviewed a normal paper I'd just give the journal's name.

  I've seen some people (again in math) also mention the year(s) and/or the number of times they've refereed for a given journal. I personally prefer not to give out such detailed information for multiple reasons (one of these is: you don't need to keep updating your CV). I just say something like "Referee, various journals."

Not used to seeing reviewing on CVs, even by journal.* Let alone specific papers.

Why not accumulate some bigger things to list. Your own papers, being a subeditor, running a conference, etc.? But reviewing papers???

*This doesn't even make sense to me. Does one paper reviewed for a journal make you "their reviewer"? If you are a part of the scientific community, you will just occasionally get requests to review or not. From various journals. Or not. But it's not like a "position".

  This is really bad advice, especially if you don't know where the OP is applying. Apart that is not uncommon to list reviewer's duties in a CV, being asked to review means that at least someone thinks that you have enough expertise to review a paper. Moreover, maybe it doesn't count much in the overall evaluation of a candidate, but why leaving this small advantage to the competitors?
