UC Riverside physicist Igor Barsukov, who specializes in experimental condensed matter physics, is being honored by the journal Communications Physics as an outstanding reviewer of manuscripts for the month of March 2019. 

Outstanding referees are those who “have gone above and beyond what is expected of a reviewer in terms of the value of their reports, the detail of their analysis, or the degree to which they have helped the authors improve their manuscripts prior to publication.”

Barsukov, an assistant professor, came to UCR in 2016 from UC Irvine. 

Communications Physics is a new physics journal of Nature Research.
