Prof. Julie Staunton named as Physical Review "Outstanding Referee" for 2017
Professor Julie Staunton is among the 150 Outstanding Referees of the Physical Review journals, as chosen by the journal editors for 2017.
Instituted in 2008, the Outstanding Referee program expresses appreciation for the essential work that anonymous peer reviewers do for our journals. Each year a small percentage of our 57,000 active referees are selected and honored with the Outstanding Referee designation. Selections are made based on the number, quality, and timeliness of referee reports as collected in a database over the last 30 years. A full listing and further details on the program are available here: .
