Advances in Space Research: Top

Reviewers of 2013

Advances in Space Research (ASR), as with

any established scientific journal, insists on a

rigorous peer review process to maintain the

integrity and quality of its published papers.

An essential part of this process is the

reviewer, spending his or her valuable time

using unique expertise to evaluate the scientific

quality of a manuscript and help the Editor

make a correct decision.

To further highlight the vital importance of

reviewers to ASR quality, the Editors have

selected their 10 top reviewers for the year

2013, taking into account criteria such as the

number and the quality of the referee reports.

By publishing the names and short biographies

of these selected reviewers in this issue of

Space Research Today, we would like to

acknowledge their valuable efforts.

We also feel deeply obliged to all ASR

reviewers who have contributed this past year

who are not mentioned here, and we sincerely

thank all of them for bringing the journal up to

its current high standard.
