The role of a good peer reviewer is complex and crucial, and over the years we have come to see more and more how the respectful relationship between reviewers, editors, and authors results in better work overall. Reviewers must not only possess scientific and content knowledge, but for <em>Tobacco Control,<\/em> they also need to have a sense of how the work informs our global readership and contributes to policy discourse. We receive many submissions that are scientifically okay, but don\u2019t provide the added value of pushing forward the way we think about what we are up to in tobacco control and how best to do it. Reviewers help sort out the merely satisfactory papers from those that can move the field.<\/p>\n<p>The journal is fortunate to have a very dedicated pool of reviewers, and we are happy each year to honor a selection of them for special mention, but each and every reviewer is appreciated for their contributions to the journal and the field.<\/p>\n<p>Our six 2020 Reviewer of the Year Award recipients are below, listed in alphabetical order:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sph.unc.edu\/adv_profile\/noel-brewer-phd-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Noel Brewer<\/strong><\/a> is a Professor of Health Behavior at University of North Carolina. In addition to regularly accepting review invites, his extensive engagement with a paper that needed multiple revisions to get it across the line is recognized with this award. His reviews are detailed and even\u00a0 witty, commenting on the scientific details and paper structure as well as helping authors clarify the meaning of the paper\u2019s content. He also gets reviews in on time, which both authors and editors value highly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tobacconomics.org\/about-us\/who-we-are\/guillermo-paraje-phd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Guillermo Paraje <\/strong><\/a>is an economist and Professor at Adolfo Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez University in Chile. An exceptionally active member of the <em>Tobacco Control <\/em>editorial advisory board, he accepts many reviewer invitations and readily does re-reviews. Some reviewers are reluctant to look at a paper more than once, but the broad range of disciplines and scientific methods used by <em>Tobacco Control <\/em>authors mean that we depend upon our specialty reviewers to judge how well authors have addressed critiques.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.research.ed.ac.uk\/en\/persons\/jamie-pearce\"><strong>Jamie Pearce <\/strong><\/a>is a Professor in Health Geography at University of Edinburgh who, according to the nominating senior editor, &#8220;swithered between reject and major revisions,&#8221; and \u201cthen wrote the most instructive and comprehensive review that any author could wish for.\u201d He also is a prolific reviewer and accepts review invitations more often than he declines, an editor\u2019s dream.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ce-shang.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Ce Shang<\/strong><\/a> is a health economist and Assistant Professor in Medical Oncology at the Department of Internal Medicine at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. Said the nominating editor: \u201cShe accepts every discrete choice experiment that we send her. Papers that use this method (much like modeling studies) depend on niche reviewers with specialized expertise. Our authors and, consequently our readers, benefit from her generous and expert feedback on these complex studies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tobacco.ucsf.edu\/people\/hai-yen-sung-phd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Hai-Yen Sung <\/strong><\/a>is Professor of Health Economics at University of California, San Francisco\u2019s Institute for Health and Aging. In addition to the editor\u2019s nomination, her careful reviewing expertise was praised by the author of a complex economics paper she reviewed, who wrote: \u201cThank you to the reviewer for lending a sharp eye to the manuscript and catching this error.\u201d (How often does that happen?!) The editor also noted that the critique inspired an interesting and long response from the authors, noting: \u201cI learned quite a bit from reading her review and author responses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.otago.ac.nz\/healthsciences\/expertise\/Profile\/?id=1757\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Andrew (Anaru) Waa <\/strong><\/a>is a Lecturer in Public Health at University of Otago, New Zealand, where his focus is tobacco control and M\u0101ori health promotion. The nominating editor noted that he provides \u201cexceptionally thoughtful\u201d reviews that \u201cdo a lovely job of distilling key strengths and weaknesses (and offering suggestions for addressing the latter).\u201d Some reviewers focus almost solely on critique, but a review that also acknowledges a paper\u2019s strengths is more meaningful to authors, who have usually poured so much into their work before submitting. Often, that positive comment helps authors take that deep breath, gain perspective and realise their piece does indeed need more work.<!--TrendMD v2.4.8--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Annually, the editors of Tobacco Control honor journal reviewers who have gone \u201cabove and beyond\u201d in contributing their expertise toward ensuring the high quality of papers the journal publishes and enhancing the likelihood that even those papers we don\u2019t publish will eventually be improved by their constructive critiques.
