EDITORIAL
In 2019, we have seen mSystems become one of the premier destinations for microbiome and systems biology research, especially with a push into synthetic microbiology. Without reviewers dedicating their expertise and time to supporting the timely peer review of these studies, we would not be successful in creating a venue that publishes the highest-quality scientific literature. Solid peer review creates trust that the work published in mSystems is reliable. However, it is also fun to remember that like pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists, who can all switch places at some point and yet fail to act with sufficient empathy toward the other two, reviewers, authors, and editors of society journals often need to remember that the service that they provide will reflect on the service that they receive. So thank you to all the reviewers for doing unto others as you would have done unto thyself! Thank you also for supporting open access publishing, and we look forward to exploring the power of open peer review in 2020.
