Associate editors of Elsevier journals please note: As a result of the suspended negotiation between German research institutions (Project DEAL) and Elsevier, see here, I currently do not have free access to recent Elsevier publications anymore. In response I have suspended the reviewing service I have been offering Elsevier free of charge for many years now. I accept future reviews for Elsevier journals only if a suitable remuneration is offered, such as a personal temporary access to Elsevier journals of 6 months or more, or under exceptional circumstances.
