Abstract

Life Sciences & Biomedicine Public, Environmental & Occupational Health Science & Technology
The Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (JOEM) has accomplished much in 2025, but we must start by thanking the 453 (up from 361 in 2024) dedicated reviewers and the members of the JOEM Editorial Board who volunteer their time and knowledge to review each submission. The 2025 JOEM reviewers are listed alphabetically by last name in the table (Table 1). Twenty-five persons did more than two reviews and one person did seven (Table 1, asterisks for all reviewers who did two or more reviews), and we are very grateful for their time and expertise. The JOEM publication would not be possible without their support and enthusiasm, and we thank them as well as the Editorial Board. Securing reviewers for our esteemed submissions has become increasingly difficult, so we truly appreciate those who are willing to donate their time and expertise to perform this necessary scientific endeavor. In addition, the JOEM Editorial Office team invited over 2200 reviewers, which represents a response rate of a bit more than 20% (453 persons). To ease this constraint regarding the reviewer requests, last year, we initiated the JOEM Journal Club Peer Review Project, and we now have five institutions (University of Colorado, Yale, Icahn School of Medicine at Mt Sinai, Johns Hopkins, and UCSF) collaboratively participating with their Occupational and Environmental Medicine (OEM) programs to handle peer review in a journal club format for JOEM. If your institution has an OEM residency, please consider reaching out to the JOEM Editorial Office (joem@kwglobal.com) to consider assisting in this rewarding educational endeavor supporting the next generation of OEM professionals in the skill and value of peer review.
