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 be selecting a group of outstanding reviewers and introduce them here.
