As part of IOP Publishing’s commitment to recognise and reward peer review, it has announced its Reviewer Awards winners for 2018.
The best reviewers from each journal have been carefully selected by IOP’s Editors based on the quality, quantity and timeliness of their reviews.
Most journals have chosen one person to receive the Reviewer of the Year Award, and selected several other excellent reviewers to receive Outstanding Reviewer awards.
Please visit the respective journal pages to see the winners listed in full. From more than 100,000 reviews for IOP in 2018, we selected the top 1,244 reviewers from 67 different countries.
Peer review forms the backbone of scholarly communication, providing essential rigour and validation for published papers. IOP Publishing wishes to thank everyone who provides this valuable service, and especially recognise those who contribute exceptional reviews.
Congratulations to all the winners!
