In Appreciation of AGU’s Outstanding Reviewers of 2025
AGU editors recognize the contributions of peer reviewers in 2025, whose expertise and dedication were integral to the advancement of the Earth and space sciences.
American Geophysical Union (AGU) Publications celebrates Peer Review Week by acknowledging 244 exceptional reviewers for their work in 2025. These individuals deserve recognition for their dedication to providing valuable and timely feedback on scientific manuscripts, ultimately enhancing the clarity and accuracy of scientific publications.
AGU's peer review process, conducted by scientists, relies on the commitment of reviewers who volunteer their time and expertise to help improve articles and ensure the publication of high-quality research. The growing complexity of research in Earth and space sciences, coupled with the increasing number of submissions to AGU journals, underscores the importance of a robust peer review system.
As the volume of submissions increased by more than 1,300 in 2025, the role of reviewers became even more crucial in maintaining the integrity and trustworthiness of scientific publications. Despite the challenges posed by geopolitical factors and the need for international representation among peer reviewers, AGU journals strive to maintain swift review cycles and uphold industry-leading standards.
By recognizing the invaluable contributions of these outstanding reviewers, AGU aims to encourage more individuals to participate in the peer review process, thereby strengthening the scientific community and advancing our understanding of the Earth and space.
