Reviewer of the Year: Dr Daniela Duarte Campos, RWTH Aachen University Hospital, Germany
Having formerly published work in Biofabrication as part of her PhD, Dr Daniela Duarte Campos felt motivated to act as a reviewer for the journal. She not only deems it important to provide expertise in the field of the proposed manuscripts, but also to reciprocate a service that benefits all researchers.
Dr Duarte Campos strongly believes that only robust research should be published. The study need not be vastly interesting or contain successful results, but the methodology should be sound and should also add significant value to the field.
When refereeing, Dr Duarte Campos finds it particularly rewarding to see good articles successfully published after rigorous peer review. Always endeavouring to include recommendations for improvement, she is gratified when authors take her suggestions on board and implement changes.
One article that captured her imagination considered recent advances in bioprinting, using smart materials that can be transformed under various stimuli: 4D bioprinting: the next-generation technology for biofabrication enabled by stimuli-responsive materials.
Dr Duarte Campos modestly claims that she was not a particularly proficient reviewer in the beginning; she would approach the task as if it were Where’s Wally?, searching for every single spelling and scientific mistake possible. She therefore urges first-time reviewers to seek advice from colleagues or mentors, who are able to offer a different perspective.
Now a practised reviewer, Dr Duarte Campos looks for scientific relevance and novelty, scrutinizing the authors’ methodologies, among other things, to corroborate whether a paper should be rejected or accepted.

When you submit your report to an IOP journal, you will be invited to complete a short survey about your experience. We are always looking to improve our services and would love to hear from your about how we can continue to support our reviewers. You can also contact the editorial office with any feedback you have about reviewing for us.
To help recognize the vital contribution our reviewers make to the publishing process, IOP has a reward programme based on open access discounts. When you review an article for an IOP journal, you may claim a 10% discount on the cost of publishing an article in any IOP journal on a gold open access basis. Discounts are valid for two years from the date the review was submitted, and can be applied to an article processing charge (APC) by any co-author.
IOP Publishing’s conference series journals provide conference organizers with a cost-effective means of publishing proceedings on an open access basis. Readers can access the content of the journals immediately without payment of a subscription fee or licence. Authors pay no article publication charge and all the costs of publishing the journal are met by the conference organizers.
For more information about the conference series, please visit the Publishing Support homepage (and click on “Conference Organisers”).
