Acknowledgement to our reviewers
Acknowledgement
Acknowledgement to our reviewers Good and timely peer review is absolutely essential for the success of the Journal of Hepatology. We are therefore extremely grateful for the support of so many colleagues who have dedicated their time this year. They evaluated the research that was submitted to the journal and shared their insights about the papers’ strengths and weaknesses. This enabled us to make the right decisions and it helped our authors to further improve their work. The role of the reviewer is out of necessity anonymous and may therefore go unnoticed at times. At the end of this year – one in which we saw the journal’s Impact Factor rise to 11.336 – we would like to take an opportunity to openly acknowledge all those reviewers who have contributed to the journal’s success. Below you’ll find a list of those who completed one or more reviews between July 1st, 2014 and September 30th, 2015. We would like to warmly thank them for their hard work and dedication and would like to extend a special thanks to those who completed their reviews on time.

Acknowledgement to our reviewers Good and timely peer review is absolutely essential for the success of the Journal of Hepatology. We are therefore extremely grateful for the support of so many colleagues who have dedicated their time this year. They evaluated the research that was submitted to the journal and shared their insights about the papers’ strengths and weaknesses. This enabled us to make the right decisions and it helped our authors to further improve their work. The role of the reviewer is out of necessity anonymous and may therefore go unnoticed at times. At the end of this year – one in which we saw the journal’s Impact Factor rise to 11.336 – we would like to take an opportunity to openly acknowledge all those reviewers who have contributed to the journal’s success. Below you’ll find a list of those who completed one or more reviews between July 1st, 2014 and September 30th, 2015. We would like to warmly thank them for their hard work and dedication and would like to extend a special thanks to those who completed their reviews on time.
