Next Section <h2>REPLY</h2> To the Editor: I agree wholeheartedly with Professor Epstein's assertion that all parties involved in the publication process, i.e., authors, reviewers, and publication committees, have a responsibility to subscribe to the highest ethical standards. In fact, he reminds me that I had planned to write a follow-up editorial addressing the importance of ethical behavior and its appearance for editors and reviewers. I am, however, dismayed by the implicit assumption that the “serious allegations” that Professor Epstein makes are widespread. This is simply not true. Professor Epstein asks what role the reviewers and publication committees play in peer review. Simply stated, the quality of the review process is directly proportional to the quality of the editors and reviewers. Choosing an editor-in-chief is of great importance for the American Physiological Society (APS). Nominations are solicited worldwide, evaluated thoroughly by the Publications Committee (PC) and Executive Council (president, president-elect, and past president) of APS, and the candidates are interviewed. Once an editor is appointed, it is his or her responsibility to nominate associate editors. Associate editors are also screened by the PC and, if approved, appointed. Once the editors and associate editors are appointed, they assemble at APS
