Abstract

Introduction Any discussion of the peer review process must begin with a sincere “thank you” to the many volunteer International Journal of Logistics Management (IJLM) reviewers. In our discipline, all journal stakeholders rely on reviewers to be the guardians of the logistics and supply chain management body of knowledge, ensuring that each and every manuscript accepted for publication makes a genuine contribution. We recognize that a well done review is a gracious contribution of the reviewer’s time and expertise. It is her or his thoughtful reflection on the research that manifests in a cogent, insightful review that informs the editor, encourages the researcher, and improves the quality of the research - whether the manuscript is ultimately accepted for publication or not. Completing a peer review of an academic manuscript is challenging, as it should be. Each manuscript may represent years of work by one or more authors who anxiously await the editorial team’s decision (Carter and Ellram, 2010). One can take pride in knowing that the editorial team has made a deliberate decision to request your specific expertise in determining the publishability of the submitted manuscript.
