Peer reviewing is the key to ensuring that the articles published in scientific journals such as JGR: Planets are based on sound scientific principles, follow state-of-the-art techniques, and present exciting discoveries or novel understanding of the fundamental processes that affect solar system objects. Our journal covers an extraordinarily broad range of topics addressing every aspect of geoscience with the only requirement that the work should not be solely focused on the Earth. Our editorial team in 2021 comprised Gareth Collins, Jun Cui, Joel Davis, Caleb Fassett, Leigh Fletcher, Matthias Grott, Ananya Mallik, German Martínez, Molly McCanta, Ryan Park, Andrew Poppe, Beatrix Sanchez-Cano, Mariek Schmidt, Yasuhito Sekine, Kelsi Singer, Sonia Tikoo, David Trang, and Zhiyong Xiao, in addition to the authors of this note. No matter how eclectic, our team cannot be specialized in every subject. With the universe as our playground, we rely on the expertise of the community to vet the articles submitted to the journal. In 2021, JGR: Planets benefited from 951 reviews provided by 597 unique reviewers. We also received help from 25 guest editors working on 5 active special collections. We know that most juggle many duties, both professional and personal. We are forever grateful that they chose to dedicate their time and energy to evaluating submitted manuscripts and advising us on the suitability of each manuscript for our journal, often suggesting ways to improve the paper. Scientific publishing truly is a community effort. The entire editorial board of JGR: Planets wishes to express here our most heartfelt gratitude to the many scientists who chose to support this journal, their journal. Thank you!
