We would like to thank the reviewers who committed their time to the peer review of the articles that make up the Telco Big Data for Covid-19 collection of papers in Data & Policy.
This is a unique collection of translational papers showcases collaborations around the globe between telecommunications companies and governments to fight Covid-19, with the aim of understanding of how big data analytics can inform responses to future pandemics. It would not be possible without the input of the reviewers’ expertise.
To bring transparency to the review process, we published the reviews alongside the articles. They can be seen on the peer review of each article. Each review has a DOI and can be cited as a research object in its own right.
