Environmental Science & Technology Presents the 2015 Reviewer Awards
A
journal depends on the goodwill and expertise of its reviewers. ES&T relies on the more than 5000 reviewers in our database to ensure that every issue includes the most reliable and authoritative research in the field. Given the broad range of topics covered by the journal and the community’s desire for thorough reviews, fast turnaround times, and high-quality publications, we ask a lot of our reviewers. We realize that reviewing is a time-consuming task with no tangible reward and thank all of our reviewers for their efforts to this essential practice. We created reviewer awards to recognize the efforts of exceptional reviewers who somehow found time in their busy schedules to review multiple papers and share deep insights with us. These are the people who went the extra distance to scrutinize results and find connections that might have been missed by the authors. They are the ones who turned a good manuscript into an excellent paper. They are truly the peers behind our peer review. The awards fall into two categories: an annual “Excellence in Review” award, which was established in 2003 to recognize contributions during a single year; and a “Super Reviewer Award,” which was first awarded in 2011 to reviewers who consistently made major contributions to the journal over multiple years. We salute all of the individuals below for their efforts. We could not do it without you!
