As we embark on Peer Review Week 2024, running from September 23 to September 27, we reflect on the fundamental role peer review plays in the world of scholarly publishing. The scholarly publishing community, including The Electrochemical Society (ECS), marks this week by celebrating peer reviewers whose diligence and expertise ensure the integrity, quality, and impact of the research published. This year’s theme—Innovation and Technology in Peer Review—embodies the spirit of collaboration and rigorous standards that are essential to advancing science.

Peer review is the backbone of scientific research. Every groundbreaking paper published today is a testament to the peer reviewers assessing the quality and validity of manuscripts submitted for publication consideration. For over 100 years, ECS has been a global leader in advancing electrochemistry and solid state science. This progress has been fueled by the contributions of peer reviewers, who uphold the mission of accelerating advancements in science while maintaining an unwavering commitment to protecting the integrity of the scholarly record. At its core, peer review is a process of scrutiny, correction, and validation. It ensures that research findings are trustworthy, replicable, and based on sound methodologies. This process enables journals to publish work that can reliably contribute to the scientific community’s collective knowledge and helps prevent the dissemination of false or misleading information. Peer reviewers are the gatekeepers, safeguarding the integrity of the scholarly record. (more…)

Call for Papers

The ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology is publishing a collection of papers on perovskite solar photovoltaic and photoelectrochemical cells.

To achieve carbon neutrality, perovskite solar photovoltaic and photoelectrochemical cells are promising technologies to catalyze the growth of solar energy deployment. As the power conversion efficiency of the laboratory-scale single-junction photovoltaic cell surpassed 25 percent, it attracted huge interest from the solar industry. Additionally, perovskites have recently emerged as promising next-generation photoelectrochemical photoelectrode materials. However, major challenges remain to be overcome before the industrialization of these promising solar technologies. The technical contents covered in this focus issue should provide important electrochemical and photophysical insights for the development of commercial perovskite photovoltaic and photoelectrochemical devices and systems.
