Thank you to our reviewers
BMJ Leader would like publicly to thank and acknowledge everyone listed below who has served as a reviewer on the Journal during 2024. Below is a personal message from the Editor in Chief, Dr James Mountford, to all who have reviewed for BMJ Leader this year:
* * *
BMJ Leader’s mission is to improve the results and experience delivered by health and care systems for their patients, populations and workforces. To deliver on this, we help to build better leaders – people who are rounded, resilient and equipped with effective leadership skills and knowledge.
In all this, you as Reviewers are key. What you contribution improve the quality of what is published, helping create real world impact. It may seem far off as you navigate ScholarOne late at night, but a chain connects what reviewers do to to patients getting better care, populations being healthier, and people working in health systems having a better experience at work.
There are many of you: we have grown from 49 people reviewing for BMJLeader in 2019 to 244 this year. We know this is done alongside your other commitments and while it is not the best rewarded or the most glamorous role, itis essential for advancing our knowledge and debate toward our purpose.
A year ago, to highlight the importance of reviewing, we published an editorial setting out why reviewers and reviewing matters: https://bmjleader.bmj.com/content/7/Suppl_2/1.12 Here, we outline a range of ideas for ways in which we think BMJLeader can better support reviewers, and—we hope—set out why a greater range of people can usefully be reviewers: diversity and inclusion matter also in reviewing. From this editorial and from input from yourselves, we re looking to introduce several changes which we hope will help: clearer reviewer instructions, offering reviewer training and trying where we can to give back to you as reviewers through access benefits.
We never stop listening, learning and trying to improve. So we are always keen to hear from you with any ideas and suggestions you have: please contact me (james.mountford@nhs.net) or Rachel Gemine from the editor team who is leading our reviewer work (rachel.gemine@wales.nhs.uk).
All health systems move fast, are increasingly challenged and benefit from evidence and debate about what works. It’s in this context I want to thank you all for your contribution in 2024. We hope you will continue to support BMJ Leader in 2025, and wish you a very happy year ahead.
