Appreciation to Our Reviewers
Uzsoy, R. (2018, November). IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING, Vol. 31, pp. 405β405.
Each year it is the privilege and responsibility of the Editor-in-Chief to acknowledge the reviewers whose largely anonymous efforts lie at the heart of any scientific publication, and the communities of scholars and practitioners whom it serves. As such, it is worth taking a few minutes to reflect on the purpose of the peer review process, and the contributions our reviewers make. To my mind the principal purposes of peer review are to determine whether the paper merits publication, and to help authors write better papers.
