Recognizing the Top 25 Peer Reviewers in 2022 for the Journal of Virology

The Journal of Virology (JVI) continues to be the premier virology journal, with 116,663 citations in 2021. JVI remains the number 1 cited journal out of 37 journals in the Virology category. This excellence is derived directly from JVI authors, reviewers, editors, and staff. Virologists and the virology community have been at the forefront of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 global pandemic—working long hours, providing critical information to the community, and reviewing an unprecedented number of manuscripts. The editors, editorial board members, and reviewers are to be commended for their hard work to ensure that the review process continued smoothly and is constructively critical, fair, and objective and that turnaround times are prompt despite the challenges of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. The average time from manuscript submission to the editors’ first decision letter now stands at 25 days. We thank all the JVI reviewers over the past year. We would especially like to thank the following 25 reviewers, whose service to JVI during the past year was exceptional in the total number of manuscripts reviewed, submitting reviews on time >90% of the time with an average of 10 days or less, and accepting the invitation to review >60% of the time.
