Last year, 92 peer reviewers contributed their time and expertise to reviewing the submitted manuscripts to the Journal of Preventive Medicine & Public Health. We regard the anonymous peer review as a vital component to the publishing process. We are fortunate to have a dedicated community of researchers who willingly accept the often grueling and thankless task of critically evaluating the work of fellow scholars. Their competence and commitment make it possible to maintain the high quality of articles published in the Journal. We would like to take this opportunity to convey our heartfelt gratitude to all the reviewers who completed manuscript reviews in 2012.
