Today, in Eos, American Geophysical Union (AGU) Publications again recognizes a number of outstanding reviewers. They were selected by the editors of each journal for their work in 2017.
Peer-reviewed literature plays an important role in advancing science. Less well known is the growing use of peer-reviewed literature in our legal systems and governments as a basis for regulations, policies, and laws. This literature also provides reliable scientific information for such advisory groups as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the National Academies.
Quality peer review is thus a critical part of the social contract between science and society. As the uses for this literature have grown, so has the complexity of papers, which now typically include more authors bringing more techniques, data, simulations, and results.
The outstanding reviewers listed here have all provided in-depth evaluations, often over more than one round of revision, that greatly improved the final published papers. This increase in complexity, in turn, has increased the challenge and the role of reviewing.
Many Reviewers: A Key Part of AGU JournalsWhile we note these few outstanding reviewers here, we also acknowledge the broad efforts of all AGU reviewers in helping ensure the quality, timeliness, and reputation of AGU journals. Overall, AGU in 2017 received more than 14,300 submissions and published nearly 6,400 papers. Many of these submissions were reviewed multiple times—in all, representing more than 34,000 reviews in 2017.Our thanks are a small recognition of the large responsibility that reviewers shoulder in improving our science and its role in society.
This happened in the past year while every AGU journal worked to shorten the time from submission to first decision and publication or maintained already industry-leading standards. Several AGU journals regularly return first decisions within 1 month of submission, and most others do so now within 2 months. Reviewers represent a key part of this improvement.
Our thanks are a small recognition of the large responsibility that reviewers shoulder in improving our science and its role in society. Editorials, some already published, some upcoming, along with recognition lists, express our appreciation.
Additional ThanksIn addition, we are working to highlight the valuable role of reviewers through events at the Fall Meeting and other meetings.
We are extending subscription benefits to those reviewers who repeatedly provide quality reviews. Each reviewer also receives a discount on AGU and Wiley books. We will continue to work with the Open Researcher and Contributor Identification (ORCID) network to provide official recognition of reviewers’ efforts, so that reviewers receive formal credit there. To date, we have more than 39,000 ORCIDs linked to GEMS user accounts, compared with 26,000 at this time last year.
Getting Your FeedbackWe are working to improve the peer review process itself, using new online tools. We have designed a short questionnaire for reviewers to provide feedback and will send a link after each review is completed.
We value your feedback, including ideas about how we can recognize your efforts even more, help improve your experience, and increase your input on the science.
We look forward to hearing from you. If you’d like to respond directly, feel free to take our questionnaire.
Once again, thanks!
