Appreciation to Our Peer Reviewers in 2019
Article information
As we begin the first issue of 2020, the Editorial Board, Associate Editors, and Editor-in-Chief of Annals of Geriatric Medicine and Research (AGMR) would like to thank our reviewers for their ongoing service and commitment to AGMR. We rely on the clinical and research expertise of peer reviewers to ensure that the manuscripts submitted to the journal undergo a thorough, fair, and timely review.
Over the last year, AGMR has continued to move forward as a growing platform for the academic needs of geriatrics and gerontology professionals and researchers. In November 2019, AGMR was accepted for inclusion in Scopus, an abstract and citation database from Elsevier. As a fast-growing journal in the multidisciplinary aging research field, our success in entering the scholarly universe of Scopus will improve the visibility of our scientific literature to researchers working in relevant fields. This achievement would not have been possible without the voluntary contributions of our reviewers to improve the scientific quality of our journal.
AGMR invited 62 experts to peer review manuscripts in 2019, some of whom received multiple invitations. With deep gratitude, I would like to particularly acknowledge the dedication of two of these peer reviewers, Drs. Jongkyoung Choi and Sun-Wook Kim, who were selected to receive Best Reviewer awards. Once again, we appreciate the rigorous and conscientious efforts of all of our reviewers and humbly request their ongoing interest and support in 2020.
