In recognition of the vital role peer review plays in preserving quality and integrity in the physical sciences, IOP Publishing (IOPP) has announced its outstanding peer reviewers. The Outstanding Reviewer of the Year Awards are given annually to commend top reviewers for their outstanding peer review efforts over the past year.
The outstanding reviewers were selected from the more than 27,000 reviewers who submitted reports to IOPP journals in 2022. Recipients were chosen by IOPP’s journal editors based on the number, timeliness, and quality of reports completed.
In 2022, IOPP launched Peer Review Excellence, the world’s first peer review certification programme dedicated to the physical sciences. Over 10,000 reviewers have now achieved ‘IOP Trusted Reviewer’ status which demonstrates an exceptionally high level of peer review competency.
Additionally, IOPP has introduced an online learning hub that offers those wanting to learn to review with confidence a completely free course that can be taken at any time. To date, more than 4300 researchers have signed up to IOPP’s e-learning hub.
