“I believe any task, including reviewing, should be carried out thoroughly and responsibly. The peer-review process is not only an opportunity to critically evaluate scientific work but also a means to contribute to the improvement of research quality and integrity in the field.”—Dr. Justina Gaidukevic

“The review process represents the key element that guarantees the quality of the published research. It is based on two interconnected pillars: the choice of the reviewers and the accuracy of the revision. The former relies on the ability of the journal to select competent reviewers, and the latter on scientific rigor but also the intellectual honesty of the reviewer in the revision work.
The first aspect that, as reviewer, I evaluate is the overall quality of the submitted research, in terms of consecutio logica, clarity and rigor of the reported results. Then, I check each single part of the work, providing deep insight into the parts of my specific competence where I can be more incisive and effective. My idea is that reviewers with complementary expertise can in this way guarantee a deep and complete evaluation of the submitted research. I think that the aim of the revision process is not only to evaluate whether a scientific work is eligible for publication or not, but also to improve the quality of the published research.”—Dr Antonietta Taurino

“Reviewing sharpens critical thinking and keeps me engaged with the latest research. It's a rewarding way to give back to the scientific community. It is also a privilege to support the peer-review process and help maintain the quality and integrity of published research.”—Dr. Aniello Pelella

“Reviewing for Materials has always been a great experience because of the quality of the manuscripts submitted to this journal.

“It has been an enriching experience to be part of the Materials journal as a reviewer, due to its quality content on latest developments from across the globe with a quick and streamlined review process.”—Dr. Sushant Rawal

“During my tenure as a reviewer for Materials, each review offers a chance to delve into cutting-edge research, acquire new knowledge, and engage in academic exchange with authors, which not only facilitates the continuous improvement of research in relevant fields but also sharpens my own academic thinking. I am well aware of the critical role peer review plays in ensuring academic quality and fostering the dissemination of research findings, and I am honored to play a part in this vital process.”—Dr. Yao Ni
