Discover Applied Sciences - Outstanding Editors and Peer Reviewers

Our (this opens in a new tab)Editorial Board Members (this opens in a new tab) (EBMs), Associate Editors (AEs), Guest Editors (GEs), and external peer reviewers are at the heart of Discover Applied Sciences (formerly SN Applied Sciences). These researchers make valuable contributions to the peer-review process, helping us to make informed decisions on research submissions.

On this page, our in-house Managing Editors will select a researcher on a regular basis who has made an outstanding contribution in one or more of the following criteria. Our recognition will be for those who have:

  • made a significant and positive contribution to the peer-review process, regardless of whether the paper was eventually accepted by the journal;
  • demonstrated professionalism and compassion in their reviews;
  • provided comments that help the authors to improve their work;
  • handled manuscripts professionally, in a timely manner, and facilitated rigorous peer review

In our opinion, those listed below deserve to be recognized for their ongoing dedication towards high quality, professional peer review and manuscript handling. We are grateful to the many EBMs, editors and other external reviewers that also meet the above criteria and help to make expert contributions to the scientific process, but we wish to highlight some of our most outstanding EBMs that truly foster the core ethos of Discover Applied Sciences (formerly SN Applied Sciences).
