Outstanding Reviewers for Chemical Science in 2020

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of Chemical Science’s reviewers, and in particular highlight the Outstanding Reviewers for the journal in 2020, as selected by the editorial team for their significant contribution to Chemical Science. We announce our Outstanding Reviewers annually and each receives a certificate to give recognition for their contribution.

We recognize the many and varied contributions our reviewer community make to the high quality of the research published in the journal, so our Outstanding Reviewers from 2020 have been chosen based on a number of different measures.

Our list includes reviewers who provided a much higher than average number of excellent quality reports. However we also recognize that providing a high number of reports is not the only important measure, so we are also highlighting reviewers who provided extraordinarily detailed reports, reviewers who were particularly noted for constructively helping authors to improve their manuscripts, and also reviewers who provided noteworthy and thoughtful adjudicative reports as well.

By widening the criteria for selecting our Outstanding Reviewers from 2020, we are delighted to say this has produced a more diverse and representative sample of our reviewer community.

It is our continuing aim to thank the many people who contribute their time and effort in support of Chemical Science. For that reason, later this year we intend to launch our new Reviewer Spotlight feature. There will be more details on this to follow on our website, Twitter and Facebook, however we hope this will be an opportunity for the editorial team to regularly identify reviewers throughout the year, and to further recognize them for their contribution and support.
