2023 Acknowledgment of mSphere Ad Hoc Reviewers

EDITORIAL

As the end of 2023 approaches, I embark on my annual task of looking back at the year at mSphere. I am very pleased to report that our number of submissions has begun to increase again after a bit of a slump in 2022. I have been impressed both by the importance of the research we are publishing, as well as the diversity in terms of types of studies and the broad geographical location of the labs studying infectious agents.

You may have noticed that we recently started publishing a new series called Full Circle. These are minireviews from junior scientists who previously wrote about the research that excites them in our mSphere of Influence (mSI) series. We reached out to the first cohort of authors to ask them to review what has happened in their field since they wrote their mSI pieces. We think you’ll find their perspectives to be fresh and unique. This initiative will continue on a rolling basis.

Finally, as always, I want to acknowledge the many excellent reviewers who have taken the time to assist us in the peer review process. It is no secret to us editors in chief of the ASM journals, or to editors and publishers more broadly, that scientists are being asked to contribute more and more volunteer service to the field by reviewing manuscripts. This sometimes translates into small but palpable delays in getting manuscripts reviewed, because editors must make more requests to potential reviewers than in the past. The ASM Journals Committee has discussed this extensively, and there are no easy answers to this situation. All I can say is that if you have reviewed for mSphere, you have my thanks and the appreciation of our senior editors, editors, and, of course, the authors whose manuscripts benefit as a result of the peer review process. The individuals who served as mSphere reviewers during 2023 are listed here.
