REVIEWER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Open Access
Thanks to all those who reviewed for Trials in2014Douglas G Altman1*, Curt D Furberg2 and Jeremy M Grimshaw3
Contributing reviewers
A peer-reviewed journal would not survive without the generous time and insightful comments of the reviewers,whose efforts often go unrecognized. Although final decisions are always editorial, they are greatly facilitated by thedeeper technical knowledge, scientific insights, understanding of social consequences, and passion that reviewers bringto our deliberations. For these reasons, the Editors-in-Chief and staff of the journal warmly thank the 610 reviewerswhose comments helped to shape Trials, for their invaluable assistance with review of manuscripts for the journal inVolume 15 (2014).
