| Abstract: | In JGR: Planets, the peer review process is critical to ensuring that the published articles are based on sound scientific principles, follow state‐of‐the‐art techniques while acknowledging relevant prior results, and present exciting discoveries or novel understanding of the fundamental processes that affect solar system objects. JGR: Planets covers a broad range of topics addressing every aspect of geoscience, with the only requirement that the work addresses planetary processes. In 2025, our editorial team included associate editors Adrian Brown, Jun Cui, Razvan Caracas, Leigh Fletcher, Sierra Ferguson, Yang Liu, Ananya Mallik, Angela Marusiak, Germán Martínez, Anna Mittelholz, Molly McCanta, Katarina Miljkovic, Claire Mondro, Naomi Murdoch, Ryan Park, Arianna Piccialli, Laura Schaefer, Mariek Schmidt, Yasuhito Sekine, Kelsi Singer, Michael Sori, Norihiko Sugimoto, Jamey Szalay, David Trang, Zhiyong Xiao and Shaosui Xu, in addition to the authors of this note. We rely on the community's expertise to vet the articles submitted to the journal. In 2025, JGR: Planets benefited from 1,549 reviews provided by 963 volunteer referees. We also received help from 11 guest editors working on 11 active special collections. To these volunteers: We know that you juggle many duties, both professional and personal, and we are truly grateful that you dedicated your time and energy to evaluate manuscripts, suggest improvements, and advise us on their suitability. On behalf of the entire editorial board, we express our heartfelt gratitude to the many scientists who support JGR: Planets. Thank you! You are performing a valued service to this journal and to the community. Plain Language Summary: The peer review process is the key to ensuring that the articles published in JGR: Planets are carefully vetted and present thoroughly considered, exciting discoveries or novel understandings of the fundamental processes that affect solar system objects. In 2025, JGR: Planets benefitted from 1,549 reviews provided by 963 unique reviewers and from the help of 11 guest editors working on 11 active special collections. We are grateful that so many scientists chose to dedicate their time and energy to evaluating and suggesting ways to improve each submitted manuscript. We also wish to acknowledge our outstanding corps of 26 volunteer associate editors. Scientific publishing is truly a community effort. The entire editorial board of JGR: Planets wishes to express our heartfelt gratitude to the many scientists who support this journal. Thank you!
