The editors wish to sincerely thank the following individuals who completed reviews from January 1 to December 31, 2015. Reviewers of multiple manuscripts are noted with an *.

Of the 353 requests to review made (up 8 percent over 2014), 23 percent did not respond at all. This is a perennial problem since each request remains open for 10 days before the system ends the invitation and moves on to a new reviewer candidate. We are thankful that this figure is lower than in 2014 (29 percent). We also had a higher ‘response rate’ in 2015 – of all requests made, 49 percent provided a review (up from 46 percent in 2014). Laid out in full, of those 77 percent who responded to our initial request, 68 percent accepted the reviewing task, and 95 percent of them completed the review.

The work of all journals would be greatly facilitated if reviewers did two things: 1) respond to review requests with dispatch regardless of accepting the task; and 2) start to log in to Editorial Manager and other online journal management systems with their ORCID (“open researcher and contributor ID”) accounts. ORCID is an attempt to provide all academics with a unique ID number that helps keep track of academic output. If you do not have an ORCID account, sign up for one at orcid.org. Only 17 percent of those we approached this year have an ORCID. The importance to the work of journals is that it means there is only one repository that needs to be updated upon moving institutions or when needing to update addresses. We suspect that some requests are being sent to abandoned email accounts.

We are also involved in piloting reporting out reviewer statistics to ORCID as well as to the private service Publons (https://publons.com/), which is a dedicated repository for peer reviewing. This will not be done without your approval, but it is coming to all journals in the near future and we encourage you to be out front with us.
