Thanks to Our Reviewers in 2005

Abstract

As a new year begins, I would like to thank our reviewers, who take time from their busy schedules, without recompense, to work for The Canadian Journal of Psychiatry. We receive approximately 200 manuscripts each year, and the publication has risen from 12 to 14 issues, so there is always a lot to do. Contributions from all our reviewers helped raise the impact factor of the Journal (now 2.2). I would also like to thank the members of the Editorial Board. You may notice that its membership has expanded considerably. All Board members, both new and old, make a major commitment to the Journal. While we ask expert psychiatrists (and other mental health professionals) across Canada to review submissions, members of the Board are doing the lion's share. They also attend Editorial Board meetings at the Annual General Meeting, which review Journal policies and brainstorm ideas for the In Review series (and for the In Debate series). I would like to offer special thanks to Roger Bland, David Goldbloom, Paul Grof, Alain Lesage, and David Streiner for their role in the Journal. Once every year, at CPA Spring Rounds, a core group of editors meets and spends an entire day planning the future of the publication. We hired new staff at the Journal in 2005, and I would like to acknowledge their fine work: the Managing Editor, Virginia St-Denis, and the Editorial Coordinator, Eryn Kirkwood. The Journal is read by 70% of all psychiatrists in Canada and, with the availability of Web access, has a greater international profile. We have a mandate from the CPA to be a strong scientific publication, and we are fulfilling it with a combination of original research, systematic reviews, and debates. The Journal continues to aim for both quality and relevance.
