For this year's #PeerReviewWeek, we want to thank all the reviewers that have participated in BiO's Fast & Fair - an initiative that aims to provide authors with faster peer review decisions without compromising quality.
Biology Open's practice of compensating reviewers is rare and, in my view, contributes to a more respectful and high-quality review culture.
