Associate Professor in the Marketing Department Yany Grégoire recently had the pleasant surprise of learning he had been named Best Reviewer by the Journal of Service Research (JSR) for “the value of his contributions to the Editorial Board” of the American journal. Mr. Grégoire received the award on September 7, at the Frontiers in Service 2018 conference in Austin, Texas.

Mr. Grégoire has been involved with the JSR for 10 years, primarily as a reviewer on the Editorial Board. His role is to review and comment on manuscripts submitted by other researchers seeking to publish papers in the journal.

“The Journal of Service Research is a leading journal in service marketing. It’s a major publication that a community of more than 1,000 researchers revolves around. It’s a bit like my ‘academic’ family. So I am really touched to receive this recognition from my peers,” said Grégoire.
