Acknowledgements to Reviewers

Reviewing a manuscript is a very demanding task. Reviewers are expected to offer constructive and respectful feedback, mindful of the time and effort that authors have invested. The most effective reviews provide clear and valuable suggestions that support the revision process, which may involve several rounds before a final decision for acceptance is reached. For consistency and efficiency, it is obviously ideal if the same reviewers evaluate revised submissions, although the time required can be difficult to predict.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all our 2024 reviewers for their dedication and for achieving an impressive average turnaround time. Their promptness, expertise, and thoughtful contributions are greatly appreciated by both editors and authors. Without their commitment, the publication of a peer-reviewed journal would be impossible. On behalf of the journal of UOEH, the editor-in-chief gratefully says the reviewers, 'thank you so much'.
