We gratefully acknowledge the valued support of the scientists who have reviewed papers throughout the year.We work with Publons to give our expert peer reviewers official and seamless recognition for their contribution to research.

COVID-19 and impact on peer review
As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times. Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.
