Lytmos peer reviewers are highly regarded authorities within their respective fields and include scientists, engineers, university faculty, industry leaders, public servants, and private consultants who meet our exacting standards for delivering timely, substantive evaluations.
The most important reviewer selection criterion is always relevant expertise, as proven by some combination of:
- education
- years of experience
- productivity (such as publishing high quality articles or textbooks, or track record of commercializing new technology)
- leadership in professional associations
- prior evaluation service (such as journal editor or review panel member)
