Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine (RAPM) Editor-in-Chief Brian Sites, MD, has identified the top 10 journal peer reviewers of 2019 based on the volume, timeliness, and insight of their reviews. RAPM receives nearly 1,000 annual submissions and depends on volunteer reviewers and content experts to maintain its high quality and success. The top reviewers were determined based on objective criteria including number of reviews, turnaround time, and peer feedback. As a result of these criteria, several ties have occurred, resulting in a total list of 40 individuals placing in the top 10.

“The peer review process is truly the vanguard of translational science.” — Brian Sites, MD
