IOP Publishing has named the winners of its Reviewer Awards for 2019.
The awards are part of IOP Publishing's commitment to recognise and reward peer review. IOPP's Editors carefully selected the best reviewers from each journal, based on the quality, quantity and timeliness of their reviews.
Most journals chose 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 full list of winners. This year IOP recognised over 1,600 reviewers from more than 60 countries, across 53 journals.
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!
