In Recognition of Our 2022 Peer Reviewers and Volunteers

Abstract

AbstractPeer review is the key to ensuring that the articles published in scientific journals such as JGR: Planets are based on sound scientific principles, follow state‐of‐the‐art techniques, and present exciting discoveries or novel understanding of the fundamental processes that affect solar system objects. JGR: Planets covers an extraordinarily broad range of topics addressing every aspect of geoscience with the only requirement that the work addresses planetary processes. The breadth of topics published is reflected by our editorial team composed in 2022 of associate editors Jun Cui, Joel Davis, Leigh Fletcher, Matthias Grott, Ananya Mallik, German Martínez, Molly McCanta, Katarina Miljkovic, Ryan Park, Andrew Poppe, Beatrix Sánchez‐Cano, Mariek Schmidt, Yasuhito Sekine, Kelsi Singer, Sonia Tikoo, David Trang, and Zhiyong Xiao in addition to the editors who authored this note. We rely on the expertise of the community to vet the articles submitted to the journal. In 2022, JGR: Planets benefited from 1,299 reviews provided by 775 unique volunteer reviewers. We also received help from 29 guest editors working on seven active special collections. We know that all our volunteers juggle many duties, both professional and personal. We are forever grateful that they chose to dedicate their time and energy to evaluating submitted manuscripts and advising us on the suitability of each manuscript for our journal, often suggesting ways to improve the paper. Scientific publishing is truly a selfless community effort. The entire editorial board of JGR: Planets wishes to express their most heartfelt gratitude to the many scientists who chose to support their journal. Thank you!
