Awards and Prizes
Outstanding Associate Editor Award
Associate Editors are critical to a high quality peer-review system. The Journal of Southern Hemisphere Earth Systems Science relies on the skills and insights of its Associate Editors to help ensure the relevance and high technical quality of papers we publish. Associate Editors oversee the efficient review of manuscripts in a discrete subject area, and comment both on the scientific quality and novelty of papers to aid the Editor and Editor-in-Chief in their decisions.
The Outstanding Associate Editor Award, judged by the Editor-in-Chief and Editor, is offered to Associate Editors who have delivered a sustained and exceptional level of service to the Journal in terms of their responsiveness, thoroughness, and timeliness.
The prize comprises a certificate and a book voucher from CSIRO Publishing.
