AMS Resources and Response to the Federal Science Crisis
Peer review in AMS Journals is carried out by volunteer reviewers, Associate Editors, Editors, and Chief Editors.
Each AMS technical journal (i.e., all AMS journals except for the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society) is governed by an Editorial Board comprising a Chief Editor or Co-Chief Editors and a selection of Editors. Supporting the editorial boards of each journal are Associate Editors and a pool of expert peer reviewers.
