It requires a large panel of experts to peer-review papers with such diverse topics. For this purpose we have the Associate Editors and Editorial Board of OS&E. These world-wide experts on ozone technology are responsible for the success of OS&E. Being recognized as a peer-reviewed journal puts OS&E in a special place on the list of the many technical journals available.
With the increasing demands on everyone’s time, it is a considerable challenge for our Associate Editors and Editorial Board to find time to provide the valuable reviews of the articles submitted to OS&E for publication. They do not take their responsibility lightly, and not all papers submitted are accepted because they do not meet the technical standards required of our journal. Their efforts are very much appreciated, because without their contributions, we would not have a technical journal.
A list of our Associate Editors and Editorial Board is found at the beginning of this journal. Please take a look at it, and when you come into contact with an Editorial Board Member, express your appreciation for the fine work that they are performing on behalf of OS&E and the ozone industry.
Finally, if you would like to be a reviewer of OS&E manuscripts and be considered for a future Editorial Board member, please contact us or register at the ScholarOne site www.mc.manuscriptcentral.com/bose.
Looking into 2016, we continue to an increasing number of papers submitted to OS&E and have seen the turnaround times decreased substantially as a result of the ScholarOne online submittal process. We are very enthused about the future prospects for OS&E.
