Reviewers: The foundation of our success

Author and Disclosure Information

 

One of the most important foundations of any journal is its reviewers. Every article and feature in the Journal undergoes peer review, and we are very fortunate to have this cadre of excellent, dedicated individuals who provide feedback and guidance. I invite new reviewers to this distinguished group. Whether you are a practicing clinician or an academic physician, your expertise is valuable. So if you are interested in making JFP more valuable, e-mail me at jfp@fammed.uc.edu, noting any special areas of interest. Please include your full name, address and contact information. I sincerely appreciate your sage advice.

And now, to recognize those reviewers from our past year.

VIRTUAL EDITORIAL BOARD

In addition to reviewing manuscripts, readers have another opportunity to help shape the editorial direction of The Journal of Family Practice—by joining our virtual editorial board.

Physicians participating on this sounding board have already influenced decisions regarding potential articles and new editorial concepts. Your only commitment would be to respond to occasional e-mail queries. Of course, you may at any time volunteer ideas for us to refer to the rest of the virtual board for consideration.

If you would like to participate with the journal in this way, please send an e-mail note to jfp@fammed.uc.edu, specifying “VEB” with your name and e-mail address. Thank you.
