Veterinary Pathology and Peer Review

With these guidelines, reviewing can be a fascinating way to engage in the progress of scientific knowledge. As one reviewer wrote, "The best reviewers also appreciate the opportunity for teaching and find reviewing a good paper as informative and exhilarating as participating in an inspiring work-in-progress research seminar. The quality of their reviews, furthermore, is importantly contagious."3 The editorial staff of Veterinary Pathology believes that any and all ACVP members should agree, when requested, to review papers on topics within their realm of expertise as a service to the membership. Only by broad support from the membership will our journal achieve the highest impact possible. Veterinary Pathology is grateful to and thanks the many excellent scientific reviewers who have made Veterinary Pathology such a high-quality journal. We hope to continue and grow this fine tradition by recruiting and mentoring additional talented reviewers.
