Peer-reviewing activity

My scientific expertise has led me to several invitations to take part in the peer-review system that ensures the rigorous standards of the scientific process. In particular, I have reviewed articles for the following journals:

• 1 for Science (AAAS). IF(2021)=56.9, JCR rank (2022) 2/73 (D1)
• 1 for Science Advances (AAAS). IF(2021)=13.6, JCR rank (2022) 7/73 (D1)
• 1 for Molecular Ecology (Wiley). IF(2022)=4.9, JCR rank (2022) 8/52 (Q1)
• 1 for Proceedings of the Royal Society B - Biological Sciences. IF(2022)=4.7, JCR rank (2022) 10/52 (Q1)

All stated reviews have been certified by Publons / Web of Science: D-7235-2018.
