The science is not excellent on its own. It is a must that the members of the scientific community devote their time (usually voluntarily) to judge on the scientific outcomes of their colleagues. This way the presented methods and results are greatly improved. Dr Radoslav Paulen was recognized for his reviewing work by a renowned international journal Optimal Control Applications and Methods (OCAM).
