Abstract

Given the crucial role of reviewers in the progress of academic journals, it is imperative to take a close look at review statistics. In addition to selecting the best reviewers from the past 2 years, the data on manuscript review were assessed. The Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society (JKNS) has over 700 reviewers, but only about 46% are actively involved in review process. Another concern is the significant portion of review requests (37%) are not completed. The reviewer evaluation system requires more valid data to effectively select the best reviewers. It is necessary to refresh the reviewer pool with active reviewers, refine the evaluation system, and develop a reviewer merit system to further the progress of JKNS.
