Chemistry Professor named Outstanding Referee by the American Physical Society

Chemistry Professor named Outstanding Referee by the American Physical Society
Prof. David J. Morrissey

The American Physical Society (APS) has selected 151 Outstanding Referees for 2021 that have demonstrated exceptional work in the assessment of manuscripts published in the Physical Review journals. Among those selected this year is University Distinguished Chemistry Professor and APS Fellow David J. Morrissey.

Instituted in 2008, the Outstanding Referee program annually recognizes approximately 150 of the currently active referees for their invaluable work. Comparable to Fellowship in the APS and other organizations, this is a lifetime award. The selection this year was made from 40 years of records on over 78,400 referees who have been called upon to review manuscripts. The basis for the Outstanding Referee selection takes into account the quality, number and timeliness of a referee’s reports, without regard for membership in the APS, country of origin, or field of research. Individuals with current or very recent direct connections to the journals, such as editors and editorial board members, were excluded.

Please join us in congratulating and thanking David for his outstanding service to the physics community.
