Editors, Reviewers Recognized for Outstanding Contributions for 2021

"The high quality of ASABE'S peer-reviewed journals could not be maintained without reviewers willing to spend hours evaluating author manuscripts and making suggestions for improvements. The reviewer recognition program developed by P-511, Journal Editorial Board, honors a number of outstanding reviewers each year. For the 2020 publication year, more than 900 reviewers participated in the review process. During the year, associate editors ranked reviewer timeliness and review quality. Each technical community then selects an allotted number of reviewers based on the number of articles published."
