Botanical Adulterants Prevention Program's Appreciation of Peer Reviewer Contributions
The extensive peer review of documents published as part
of BAPP is an integral part of providing balanced and accurate information to
the international botanical trade. The Botanical Adulterants Prevention
Bulletins and Laboratory Guidance Documents sent for peer review in 2018 were evaluated
by 14-25 experts from academia, government, industry, and nonprofit
organizations, while the Botanical Adulterants Monitor was assessed by three to
five reviewers.
In order to recognize the time spent in support of the
Program, and for the suggestions and edits that are essential to achieve the
high publication standard we strive for, we would like to extend our deep
appreciation to everyone who has participated in the peer-review process. BAPP
publications usually undergo an initial review by Mark Blumenthal (American
Botanical Council, Austin, TX), John H. Cardellina II (ReevesGroup, Virginia
Beach, VA), Steven Foster (Steven Foster Group, Eureka Springs, AR), Ikhlas A.
Khan (University of Mississippi, University, MS), and Roy Upton (American
Herbal Pharmacopoeia, Scotts Valley, CA), before being sent to additional
expert members from academia, government, industry, and nonprofit
organizations. A special thanks goes to Roberto Pace (Indena SpA, Milan, Italy)
and Brian Killday (Bruker-Biospin, Billerica, MA), who commented on all six documents
that were sent to them for review, and to Kirsten Tripplett (Traditional
Medicinals, Sebastopol, CA) and Jeremy Stewart (Gaia Herbs, Brevard, NC) for
completing five BAPP reviews in 2018. A list with the names of all our 2018 peer-reviewers
is given below.
