Key Words: Editorials Reviewers perform extraordinarily important work for our journal. They evaluate the rigor and relevance of scholarly papers under consideration by Academic Psychiatry. They craft thoughtful, timely critiques offering guidance to authors and editors. They ensure that the scholarship of colleagues reflects the scientific and ethical standards of the profession of psychiatry. Most important, they give the gifts of time, honesty, and mentorship to authors who take on the hard task of sharing their work.

The criteria and practices used in reviewing manuscripts in medical education are patterned on those across the fields of medicine and science. For conceptual and literature reviews, the criteria include clarity and relevance of the topic, fairness and diligence in representing the key concerns and questions in the area, quality of the presentation, and value of the work in advancing our understanding within the field. For research reports, review criteria encompass the following: problem statement, conceptual framework, and research question; references to the literature and documentation; relevance; research design; instrumentation, data collection, and quality control; population and sample; data analysis and
