International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Exceptional Reviewers List 2026

We are thrilled to share the updated Exceptional Reviewers List 2026. This program was established to recognize and honor scholars who have consistently delivered exceptional review reports to our journal. Committed to fostering rigorous research and promoting knowledge exchange, International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH, ISSN 1660-4601) acknowledges the vital role our reviewers play in maintaining the quality and integrity of the articles we publish. According to surveys conducted in 2025, 93% of our authors rated the peer review process as good or excellent, reflecting the strength and effectiveness of our reviewer community.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to all the reviewers who have generously volunteered their time and expertise to assist in IJERPH’s peer-review process. Their dedication and attention to detail when evaluating manuscripts, offering valuable feedback, and contributing to academic rigor are truly commendable.

The Exceptional Reviewers List was introduced in April 2026. Each quarter, we will be selecting a group of outstanding reviewers and we will introduce them here.
