Prof. Peter Borg from the Department of Mathematics within the Faculty of Science has recently been selected to receive an Outstanding Reviewer Award 2023 presented by the well-reviewed journal, Discrete Mathematics (DM).
The award recognises Prof. Borg's service to the journal and to its editors and authors by providing significant, positive and constructive reviews over a number of years.
"A scientific journal cannot function without the reviewers who volunteer their time and expertise to evaluate submissions to the journal. Outstanding reviewers not only help to select suitable papers; they also help to improve them", wrote Dr Giampiero Accardo, the Elsevier publisher responsible for Discrete Mathematics in a personal correspondence to Prof. Borg.
The award, sponsored by Elsevier, carries a prize of US $250.
"I am very honoured to have firstly received this correspondence, and secondly to have been recognised for the hours of hard work and contributions to this journal", Prof. Borg told Newspoint.
Prof. Borg is one of five recipients of this award, together with academics from Singapore, China, Canada and the Slovak Republic.
