Reviewer

  • Referee for a broad range of journals.
  • I recently decided to prioritise papers of journals associated with scientific societies in my field:
    • for example, Geoscientific Model Development, Water Resources Research, Journal of Hydroinformatics, Hydrology Research, Peer Community Journal
  • I then also decided to decline to referee papers for journals published by certain publishers who charge our university library excessive prices.
  • See a statement by six scientific societies and text by Randy LeVeque for my motivation.
