Summary: Peer review is crucial for ensuring the publication of articles in scientific journals, such as JGR: Planets, that are based on sound scientific principles and cutting-edge techniques and present significant discoveries or new understandings of planetary processes. The journal covers a wide range of geoscience topics, with the only requirement being their relevance to planetary processes. The editorial board and guest editors rely on the expertise of the scientific community to evaluate and improve manuscripts, and they express their deep gratitude to the many scientists who volunteer their time and energy for peer review.

Summary: Peer review is an important aspect of science, but the practice of authors suggesting reviewers has been controversial. This article examines the association between author-suggested reviewers and review invitation, review scores, acceptance rates, and subjective review quality, and finds that author-suggested review panels can increase the chances of acceptance but reviewers are less likely to agree to review.

Summary: Identifying reviewers is generally discouraged, but some are willing to sign their comments. Male reviewers are more likely to sign than female reviewers, and reviews are more likely to be signed for more positively rated manuscripts. Signed reviews are longer and recommend more references.

Summary: This study documents the feedback practices and experiences of two award-winning peer reviewers in the field of education, shedding light on how they design opportunities for feedback uptake, navigate responsibilities, reflect on their feedback experiences, and understand journal standards. Reflective narratives reveal the contextual influences on their feedback practices as peer reviewers across micro, meso, exo, macro, and chrono levels, informed by ecological systems theory. Implications related to peer reviewer support and future research directions are discussed.

Summary: The ability to analyze and interpret research data is crucial for the scientific process, and using preprint articles as a pedagogical tool can help students improve this skill. By comparing experts' cognitive approaches with their own, critiquing data, and identifying changes in papers, students gain diverse insights into data presentation, peer review, and scientific publishing. Analysis of preprint articles is a valuable tool for enhancing students' information literacy and understanding of the scientific process.
