Reviewers for The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon

We would like to extend our most sincere thanks to the 207 reviewers listed below. This list does neither include the Editorial Board members, nor the Society Representatives.

All have voluntarily contributed to the quality of this journal by performing reviews upon invitation in the year 2017, both for ThCVS and ThCVS Reports. Their dedication is essential for keeping the high standards of our bilaterally blinded peer review process.

187 reviewers reviewed for the main journal only, 3 for the Reports only, 17 for both. Again, we can welcome numerous newcomers who were invited for the first time and who accepted to collaborate. It is the declared aim of the Editor-in-Chief to distribute the workload upon as many shoulders as possible.

Our 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 an acknowledgment of your services. Moreover, Thieme Publishing Group has partnered with “Publons” to facilitate official recognition and credit for contributions to peer review.

We hope everybody will continue to support us in 2018.
