Applied Sciences 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, Applied Sciences (ISSN: 2076-3417) recognizes the significant role our reviewers play in maintaining the quality and integrity of the articles we publish. According to surveys conducted in 2024, 92% of our authors rated the peer review 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 Applied Sciences’ peer-review process. Their dedication and attention to detail in evaluating manuscripts, offering valuable feedback, and contributing to ensuring the academic rigor of all published articles are truly commendable.
The Exceptional Reviewers List was introduced in February 2025. Each quarter, we will select a group of outstanding reviewers and introduce them here.

“The subject range of the Applied Sciences journal is very broad and diverse. Articles submitted by authors to the journal for review meet the rigorous requirements for this type of scientific work. The review process itself takes place in a friendly atmosphere and with respect for the authors and editors, without whose support the submission process would be difficult. The broad thematic scope of the journal and publications broadened my research, methodological, and thematic experience. Working on this review for Applied Sciences was very inspiring for me.”—Dr. Bartosz Ciupek |

“Reviewing is a way to give back to the scientific community. Behind every submission there is strong work, and the reviewer’s role is to help polish it and bring out its best version.”—Dr. Joaquin Cerda Boluda |
