Reviewers for The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon

We would like to extend our most sincere thanks to the 185 reviewers listed below.

All have voluntarily contributed to the quality of this journal by performing reviews upon invitation in the year 2021, both for ThCVS and ThCVS Reports. Their dedication is essential for keeping the high standards of our bilaterally blinded peer review process which may sometimes seem cumbersome but is definitely worth it.

152 individuals reviewed for the main journal only, 13 solely for the Reports, 20 for both. Again, we can welcome several newcomers who accepted to collaborate. A continued diversity of involved disciplines helps to distribute the workload upon as many shoulders as possible.

Furthermore we would like to extend our gratitude to all the members of our cardiac Select Crowd Review crowd. Their willingness to explore a completely different mode of peer review in a very limited timespan has enabled us to get the ball rolling, at the same time collecting a lot of valuable information which we are currently evaluating. You can expect a summary of our initial experience later this year. In fact, the results have been so encouraging that we are now establishing a second, “thoracic” crowd to include as many manuscripts as possible.

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 remember that the Thieme Publishing Group has partnered with “Publons” to facilitate official recognition and credit for contributions to peer review.

We hope that everybody will continue to support us.
