Reviewers for The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon

We would like to extend our most sincere thanks to the 148 reviewers listed below.

All have voluntarily contributed to the quality of this journal by performing reviews upon invitation in the year 2024, both for ThCVS and ThCVS Reports. Their dedication is essential for keeping the high standards of our bilaterally anonymized peer review process which may sometimes seem cumbersome but is definitely worth it.

128 individuals reviewed for the main journal only, 11 solely for the Reports, 9 for both. Some people have declined to review for good. Fortunately, we could welcome several newcomers who accepted to collaborate. A continued diversity of involved disciplines and countries helps to distribute the workload upon as many shoulders as possible.

Furthermore, we would like to again extend our gratitude to all the members of our cardiac and thoracic Select Crowd Review crowds. Their willingness to explore a completely different mode of peer review in a very limited timespan has enabled us to collect a lot of valuable information which we are continuously evaluating.

All our faithful reviewers share most of the burdens but only few of the pleasures which editing a scientific journal implies. This modest “thank you” from the societies, the editorial staff, and the publisher is meant to serve as a humble acknowledgment of your services. Please bear in mind that the authors may add reviews to their researcher profile in the Web of Science Reviewer Recognition Service to facilitate official recognition and credit for contributions to peer review.

We hope that everybody will continue to support us.
