Exceptional Reviewers
GSA appreciates the many people who make its peer-reviewed journals possible: the authors, science editors, editorial board members, associate editors, and most of all, the reviewers. Peer review of papers is the cornerstone of scientific publishing, but reviewing papers is all-too-often a thankless task. For all those who complete timely, thorough, and even-handed reviews, GSA thanks you. GSA’s journal science editors have selected the following people for special recognition of the many prompt, insightful, meticulous, and tactful reviews they completed.
