Outstanding Reviewers for Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry in 2016

24 Feb 2017

Following the success of Peer Review Week in September 2016 (dedicated to reviewer recognition) during which we published a list of our top reviewers, we will continue to recognise the contribution that our reviewers make to the journal by announcing our Outstanding Reviewers each year.

Outstanding Reviewers for Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry in 2016, as selected by the editorial team, have been chosen based on the number, timeliness and quality of the reports completed over the last 12 months.

A big thank you to those individuals listed here as well as to all of the reviewers that have supported the journal, helping us to get decisions to authors in under 3 weeks, on average. Each Outstanding Reviewer will receive a certificate to give recognition for their significant contribution.

Professor Kyo Han Ahn, Pohang Univeristy of Science and Technology

Professor Barry Carpenter, Cardiff University

Dr Justin Chalker, Flinders University

Dr Bobo Dang, University of California

Professor Concepción González Bello, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela

Dr Alakananda Hajra, Visva-Bharati University

Dr Charles Heath, CSIRO

Professor Colin Suckling, University of Strathclyde

Professor David Yu-Kai Chen, Seoul National University

Professor Jian Zhou, East China Normal University

We would also like to thank the Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry boards and the organic chemistry community for their continued support of the journal, as authors, reviewers and readers.

If you would like to become a reviewer for our journal, just email us with details of your research interests and an up-to-date CV or résumé. You can find more details in our author and reviewer resource centre
