Thank You to Our 2024 Reviewers

Abstract

On behalf of the journal, AGU, and the scientific community, the editors of Geophysical Research Letters would like to sincerely thank those who reviewed manuscripts in 2024. The hours reading and commenting on manuscripts not only improve the manuscripts but also increase the scientific rigor of future research in the field. With the advent of AGU's data policy, many reviewers have also helped immensely to evaluate the accessibility and availability of data, and many have provided insightful comments that helped to improve the data presentation and quality. We greatly appreciate the assistance of the reviewers in advancing open science, which is a key objective of AGU's data policy. We particularly appreciate the timely reviews in light of the demands imposed by the rapid review process at Geophysical Research Letters. We received 5,225 submissions in 2024, and 5,597 reviewers contributed to their evaluation by providing 9,697 reviews in total. We deeply appreciate their contributions. We would also like to acknowledge the passing of our beloved colleague, Harihar Rajaram. An AGU Fellow and longtime affiliate of AGU's Hydrology Section, Hari was the Editor-in-Chief of Geophysical Research Letters since 2019, a former editor on Water Resources Research, and served on the AGU Publications Committee.
