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 2023. 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 strives to improve the results and experience delivered by health and care systems for their patients, populations and workforces. To deliver on this purpose, we help to build better leaders – people who are rounded, resilient and equipped with effective leadership skills and knowledge.
Toward achieving this, you and all our Reviewers are key. Your contributions improve the quality of what we publish and helps deliver at pace, leading to timely real world impact. There is a chain which connects what each of you have done 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: In 2019, 49 people reviewed for BMJ Leader; this year, over 200. We know this is done alongside your other commitments and while it is not the best rewarded or the most glamorous role, it is essential for advancing our knowledge and debate toward our purpose.
To highlight the importance of reviewing, we have recently 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 BMJ Leader 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. The editorial includes a link to a short survey: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/6DPB8Q7. This explores:
● What might prompt people to become a reviewer or to mentor reviewers
● What holds people back from putting yourself forward as a reviewer
● How we could make reviewing more rewarding at BMJ Leader.
If you have a minute, please help us by completing the survey, and circulate it to any colleagues who you think may be interested. This will help us grow our reviewer community and enable us to better support you in your role as a reviewer. And, of course, 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).
When knowledge is advancing ever-faster and when leadership in health and care is at its most challenging, your support matters even more. So, it’s in this context I want to thank you all for your contribution. We hope you will continue to support BMJ Leader in 2024, and wish you a very happy New Year.
