Avoid common mistakes on your manuscript.
We would like to express our sincerest thanks to all of our 2021 reviewers who have provided multiple, high quality and timely reviews. Their excellent, insightful comments are greatly appreciated by the editors and by the authors, irrespective of the outcome of the submission
Reviewing an article is a challenging endeavor which takes time out of our busy days. Whenever possible a reviewer should be both thoughtful and diplomatic in his/her comments, realizing that whether the reviewer liked the article or not, the authors have committed significant time, effort, and hopeful expectations to their work. Writing an article is like creating a piece of art, and frequently this article will be used in the future to improve patient care, review research results, and develop new research ideas. Our reviewers serve as gatekeepers in this process which is a highly responsible role.
The best reviewers try to help the authors improve their work by providing detailed, helpful and actionable comments that the author can use in preparing a revision or a future submission. Sometimes the process can require multiple revisions and re-submissions before a final decision can be made. It is best if the original reviewer(s) also review the revised manuscript to avoid duplication of effort, as well as potentially contradictory opinions. Therefore, when a reviewer agrees to undertake a review, the exact time commitment can be somewhat unpredictable.
Without the help of the Reviewers, time consuming and selfless as it always is, there could be no peer-reviewed journal. The Editors of Skeletal Radiology, on behalf of ourselves, the International Skeletal Society and our publisher, Springer, gratefully say to all of you, “thank you”.
