The second annual Peer Review Week is coming! A time to celebrate the contribution of so many scientists in this voluntary but vital part of the scientific process. Peer review improves the quality of scientific publications, helps funders identify the best work, and supports career progression.
FEMS Journals could not exist without the contribution and expertise of reviewers and editors. In their honour, we designed a crown they can ‘wear’ on their social media profile picture. It enables them to show they are an active FEMS reviewer or editor and that they are the ones that crown it all for the FEMS Journals. It shows that they voluntarily and with knowhow and dedication handle our submitted articles, read them, edit them, give feedback based on their specialist knowledge and together with the author define the scientific quality of our journals.
Editors and reviewers: you can wear your crown with pride!
