Outstanding Reviewers for Reaction Chemistry & Engineering in 2016

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 are delighted to announce that we will continue to recognise the contribution that our reviewers make to the journal by announcing our Outstanding Reviewers each year.

We would like to highlight the Outstanding Reviewers for Reaction Chemistry & Engineering in 2016, as selected by the editorial team, for their significant contribution to the journal. The reviewers have been chosen based on the number, timeliness and quality of the reports completed over the last 12 months.

We would like to say a big thank you to those individuals listed here as well as to all of the reviewers that have supported the journal. Each Outstanding Reviewer will receive a certificate to give recognition for their significant contribution.

Dr Duncan Browne, Cardiff University
Dr Antimo Gioiello, Universita degli Studi di Perugia
Professor Christian Goldsmith, Auburn University
Dr Ryan Hartman, New York University
Professor Christian Oliver Kappe, Universitat Graz
Dr Amy Mueller, MIT
Dr Antonio Perazzo, Università di Napoli Federico II
Professor Bert Weckhuysen, Universiteit Utrecht
Dr Charlotte Wiles, Chemtrix
Dr Jun Yue, University of Groningen

We would also like to thank the Reaction Chemistry & Engineering board and the reaction engineering 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.

3D printing outclasses glass

Reactionware revolution continues with nanoparticle flow reactor

A UK team has demonstrated the power of 3D printing in producing complex labware for about the same cost as a paperback book.

The inaugural study to come from Victor Sans’ group at the University of Nottingham, UK, is a proof of concept. In it they designed, manufactured and optimised a cheap yet complex flow reactor for a model system – silver nanoparticle synthesis.

Automated fluorine radiolabelling moves closer to the clinic

New technique could improve tumour diagnosis and treatment

A new automated fluorine-18 radiolabelling procedure could allow better tumour diagnosis and treatment in the clinic.

Graham Smith and coworkers at the Institute of Cancer Research have used two different radiolabelling platforms to successfully label three small biological molecules with fluorine-18, which could allow the batch production of these radiopharmaceuticals to satellite PET centres around the country.

“We showed how the process could be automated, and reported some indicative trends for the radiolabelling efficiency so that radiochemists with an interest in this type of radiolabelling can quickly adapt and optimise to suit a chosen peptide of interest,” comments Smith.
