Each one of our outstanding peer reviewers has been carefully selected by our editorial team and includes active researchers who have made significant contributions to peer review and have gone above and beyond in their actions.

As well as selecting reviewers who have provided a higher-than-average number of top-quality reviewer reports, we have also chosen to highlight those reviewers who have provided highly detailed reports and provided constructive feedback, as well as those adjudicative reviewers who have provided thoughtful and robust reports for manuscripts that have initially received conflicting recommendations.

In addition to our list of Outstanding Reviewers for Chemical Science, we are highlighting our superb reviewer community year-round in our Reviewer Spotlight blog, which highlights a selection of reviewers every month. You can read our Reviewer Spotlight blog at https://blogs.rsc.org/sc/category/reviewer-spotlight/ and do keep an eye on our journal Twitter/X account @ChemicalScience to see which reviewers we will be promoting each month.
