In 2018, the Journal of Korean Medical Science (JKMS) received 1,221 submissions, 883 (72.3%) by Koreans and 338 (27.7%) by overseas researchers. About half of them were desk rejected by triage review and remaining half were reviewed by invited peer reviewers. Overall accept rate was 28.6% in 2018.
The JKMS invited 469 experts for peer review of manuscripts in 2018, and over half of them received multiple invitations. All of the editorial staffs of JKMS sincerely appreciate voluntary contribution of the peer reviewers. The names of reviewers are listed below for appreciation. Among the reviewers, Dr. Olena Zimba (Danylo Halytsky Lviv, Ukraine), Dr. Koo Han Yoo (Kyung Hee University), and Dr. Chang-Hoon Lee (Seoul National University) were awarded as the best reviewer for JKMS in 2018.
JKMS will invite more young researchers for review of manuscripts in 2019. Peer review must be critical for all manuscripts. I expect all invited experts regard the invitation as an honor in science. Thanks to the voluntary intellectual contribution, JKMS can progress soundly and steadily.
Name of reviewers for JKMS in 2018.
