Peer-review
My scientific expertise has lead 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 Science. IF(2021)=63.8
- 1 Science Advances. IF(2021)=14.9
- 1 Proceedings of the Royal Society B - Biological Sciences. IF(2021)=5.5
All stated reviews have been certified by Publons / Web of Science: D-7235-2018.
