Symmetry Exceptional Reviewers List 2025
We are thrilled to share the updated Exceptional Reviewers List 2025. This program was designed to recognize and honor scholars who have delivered consistently exceptional review reports to our journal. Committed to fostering rigorous research and promoting knowledge exchange, Symmetry recognizes the significant role our reviewers play in maintaining the quality and integrity of the articles we publish. According to surveys conducted in 2023, 91% of our authors rate the peer-review process as good or excellent, thanks to our pool of excellent reviewers.
We would like to express our sincere appreciation to all the reviewers who have generously volunteered their time and expertise to assist in Symmetry’s peer-review process. Their dedication and attention to detail in evaluating manuscripts, offering valuable feedback, and contributing to academic rigor are truly commendable.
The Exceptional Reviewers List was introduced in February 2025. Every month, we will select a group of outstanding reviewers and introduce them here.

See what our reviewers say about the review process of Symmetry:
“I am a reviewer and periodically evaluate papers for journals from different portfolios (Springer-Nature, Elsevier, Taylor-Francis, Bentham, MDPI, De Gruyter, FrontiersIn, AIMS). I dedicate a considerable amount of time to this activity, but I do it with pleasure and it always reminds me of the early years of my scientific and authorial career. I must say that the requirements of a review differ from one portfolio to another, but one thing is common; namely the seriousness with which each editor treats each submitted paper, each review request, each review received, until the final decision to accept or reject the paper submitted for publication. Sometimes, unfortunately, there are also papers that are lost along the way—withdrawn by authors from the evaluation process for various reasons. I have appreciated and still appreciate the collaboration with the staff of Symmetry—the papers submitted for review always arouse my interest in the researched subject, a sign that the assistant editors do a very good job there when assigning papers for review by combining the field of the paper with the field of interest of the reviewers. A very important aspect, which I care about very much, and which the people at Symmetry have always respected, is to take into account the opinion of the reviewers. A paper thus enters, if necessary, several rounds of review, until each reviewer who provides feedback expresses his/her agreement for publication. It is therefore a great pleasure and an honor for me to see that, in return, my work as a reviewer is appreciated at Symmetry and I would like to publicly express my gratitude in this way.”—Prof. Dr. Lorentz Jäntschi
“The experience of reviewing articles for MDPI is truly top-notch; from accepting the review, negotiating the deadline for submitting the review, to receiving a response from the author. The software support throughout the entire process is truly excellent.”—Prof. Dr. Aleksander Radovan
“Providing rigorous and constructive feedback is essential to advancing high-quality research. I appreciate the opportunity to contribute to Symmetry through the peer-review process.”—Prof. Dr. Daniel Sanín Villa
“The review process is well organized, standardized, and in line with modern practice. It is based on very efficient software, so all communications are fast, timely, and complete. For some (additional) ambiguities, the staff is well-prepared and professional.”—Prof. Dr. Vladimir Katić
“My experience as a reviewer for the prestigious journal Symmetry has been exceptional due to the quality of the papers received in my areas of interest, as well as the support provided by the editorial staff.”—Dr. Irving A. Cruz-Albarran
“Thoroughly enjoyed contributing to a finely designed peer-review process, ensuring high-quality research in this interdisciplinary field. A rewarding experience!”—Prof. Dr. Claudio Delrieux
