The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) recently gave Los Alamos National Laboratory scientist Meng Meng special recognition for reviewing 100 or more scientific papers since 2016. This year’s SPE A Peer Apart award honored 11 people who have reached that milestone, providing countless volunteer hours for peer review — a critical part of scientific journal publishing.
Meng also received an Outstanding Associate Editor award. For SPE Journal and Geoenergy Science and Engineering (previously the Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering), he helps evaluate whether the information in papers is well supported and clearly written, contributing to scientific integrity. In the past, the society gave Meng an Outstanding Technical Editor award.
