Scott Pryor, assistant professor of agricultural and biosystems engineering, has been named an outstanding reviewer for the biological engineering division of the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers for his work in reviewing articles submitted for journal publication last year.
Each year only 10 to 11 reviewers are recognized by the society for their outstanding contributions. More than 900 reviewers participate each year.
Associate editors, who select the reviewers for each article, rate the reviewers on quality, thoroughness and timeliness. Based on these criteria, they assist the division in identifying reviewers who have made outstanding contributions during the past year.
Pryor will be honored at the society's annual international meeting in Pittsburgh in June.
