Thank You to Our 2019 Reviewers

Peer review is an essential component of scientific publishing, ensuring that our science is well communicated, accurately documented, appropriately placed in the context of prior work, and effectively archived for future usage, all within a timeframe that ensures the highest possible impact. The 200 papers published in Tectonics in 2019 benefitted from the careful scrutiny and constructive criticism drawn from the expertise of 728 reviewers, who provided a total of 1,082 reviews. These papers have helped to elucidate the evolution, structure, and deformation of Earth's lithosphere across a range of geologic to recent timescales. To all of the members of our community who have volunteered their time and efforts toward this collective goal, we thank you for helping Tectonics produce the high quality output that has helped us maintain a prominent position in scientific publishing for years, and for the spirit of teamwork that makes the peer review process an asset in our community. Key Point The editors thank the 2019 peer reviewers.
