Outstanding Reviewers for Chemical Science in 2024

---

Abstract

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of Chemical Science's reviewers for helping to preserve quality and integrity in the chemical science literature. We would also like to highlight the Outstanding Reviewers for Chemical Science in 2024.

---

Each one of our outstanding peer reviewers has been carefully selected by our editorial team and includes active researchers who have made significant contributions to peer review and have gone above and beyond in their actions when reviewing for the journal during 2024.

As well as selecting reviewers who have provided a higher-than-average number of top-quality reviewer reports, we have also chosen to highlight those reviewers who have provided highly detailed reports and provided constructive feedback, as well as those adjudicative reviewers who have provided thoughtful and robust reports for manuscripts that have initially received conflicting recommendations.

In addition to our list of Outstanding Reviewers for Chemical Science, we feature our superb reviewer community year-round in our Reviewer Spotlight blog, which highlights a selection of reviewers every quarter. You can read our Reviewer Spotlight blog at https://blogs.rsc.org/sc/category/reviewer-spotlight/ and do keep an eye on our journal BlueSky (@chemicalscience.rsc.org), LinkedIn (Chemical Science Journal) and Facebook pages to see which reviewers have been particularly noteworthy.

2025 also marks the 15^th anniversary of Chemical Science, and we are celebrating the Chemical Science community with a dedicated Community collection. You will also find the research of many of our excellent reviewers highlighted as part of this special collection.
